The National Team Development Program (NTDP) was started in 1996 by USA Hockey as a way to identify elite hockey players in the country under the age of 18, and centralize their training. There are two teams in the program, an Under-17 squad and an Under-18 squad. The teams are both based out of Ann Arbor, Michigan. The stated goal of the NTDP "is to prepare student-athletes under the age of 18 for participation on U.S. National Teams and success in their future hockey careers. Its efforts focus not only on high-caliber participation on the ice, but creating well-rounded individuals off the ice." While enrolled in the NTDP, players stay with billet families and attend Ann Arbor Pioneer High School.

While enrolled in the NTDP, players stay with billet families and attend Ann Arbor Pioneer High School. The Under-17 and Under-18 teams play games domestically against opponents in the United States Hockey League (Under-17 and Under-18 teams) and the National Collegiate Athletic Association (Under-18 team), as well as three international tournaments for each team. The NTDP teams have also competed in the North American Hockey League in the past.
