About Us

Mission

The Competitive Development Program is designed to give our youngest players a fun, comprehensive and age-appropriate hockey development experience in accordance with the Hockey Canada and Ontario Hockey Federation (OHF) Player Development Model.

This program was developed with the additional goal of providing players and their families with a more consistent, time-efficient hockey schedule primarily on local rinks in our communities. For the 2021/22 season, five associations are part of the program. A total of approximately 30 teams will compete across three age divisions.

Organization 

The CDP program is an extension of House League and is available to all registered 6, 7, and 8 year-old players (U7, U8, U9) on a tryout basis.

This program is sanctioned by the GTHL and the operations are managed by Board executives and volunteers from the member clubs who oversee budgeting, scheduling, tiering, planning and coordination of the league.

Each member club is responsible for their own teams as follows:

· Player registration, tryouts, and roster approvals.

· Parents/team official approvals and certifications.

· Management and collection of tournament/exhibition approval forms.
