The Regional Development Pilot Project is committed to making hockey a place where every child feels welcome and valued. With that at the front of our minds, the program will focus on three core principles:
1 – No athlete will be cut from the program
2 – Every athlete will be welcomed and made to feel that they belong and are a part of the program.
3 – The focus of the program is on development, growth and participation for all athletes – regardless of their starting point.
