Subsequently, Palmer was selected to the U.S. National Team Development Program, and played for two seasons, appearing in 108 games.

Later, his team went on to win the silver medal at the World Under-18 Championship in Belarus. [1]

After two years with the USNTDP, Palmer joined the Tri-City Storm from 2004–2006 and appeared in 110 games. In his first year with the Storm, Palmer recorded 41 points on 15 goals and 26 assists.

He competed in the 2009 NCAA National Championship game as a junior. [1] In his freshman season in 2006-07, he played in all 42 games posting 30 points with 11 goals and 19 assists.
