OUR HOCKEY PROGRAM

Our Hockey Program was formed in 2003 with a simple goal; to provide top players with an opportunity to compete against, develop and play with the top teams and players in the world.

In 2008, Selects Hockey will compete in tournaments across the world and field teams at the '92 through '95 age levels.  Selects Hockey is also proud to announce its 8-12 year old regional program called Cougars Selects, where players from the the '96-'01 levels will have an opportunity to participate in a local spring/summer program built on the philosophies of Selects Hockey.  We are committed to working with the most elite young hockey players from around the globe in their off season, and providing them with the highest level of coaching, development, education and competition extant. We stress key factors such as team play, basic hockey systems, discipline and we coach the players as they can expect to be coached when they reach higher levels of hockey. We demand character, determination and discipline from every player.

Yours in hockey,

PROGRAM PHILOSOPHY - "THE 4 YEAR DEVELOPMENT PLAN"

Selects Hockey presents a model called "Hockey Chain Development (HCD)" that offers an elite program over 4 consecutive spring/summers giving the means and opportunities young hockey players to become mature hockey prospects. This HCD concept is well illustrated in the diagram and example below showing a four-year development program.

This "Hockey Chain Development" model uses an exciting combination of hockey camps, national and international hockey tournaments. These means shown in the diagram provides opportunities for a young hockey prospect to enjoy a "rich educational-hockey environment". Selects Hockey strongly believes that the key success components of their summer program are necessary and sufficient to move a young prospect forward as a mature top hockey prospect.
