Three players with ties to the Jr. Ducks are among the 47 invited to USA Hockey's National Team Development Program Evaluation Camp on March 19-23 in Michigan.

Defenseman Jonas Kemps, who played this past season for the club's 15U AAA team, and former Jr. Ducks Noah Davidson and Odin Vauhkonen will participate in the camp for 2008 birth years that helps determine the 2024-25 U.S. National Under-17 team. 

The 6-foot-4, 175-pound Kemps helped the 15U team reach the Pacific District tournament in Seattle in late February. He had a highly productive season, scoring 46 points (15 goals) in 73 games and adding three more points in four playoff games. 

Vauhkonen, who is also a defenseman, played for the Jr. Ducks through 14U. The 6-foot, 176-pounder excelled for the club in 2021-22 when he had 45 points (10 goals) in 70 games. 

Davidson, a 6-foot-2, 181-pound forward, played for the club from 2018-21 at levels ranging from Pee Wee A to AAA. 

This is the most Jr. Ducks invited to the camp since 2021 when defensemen Zeev Buium (University of Denver) and Francois DeVilliers (Air Force Academy commit) were invited.
