Player Development
We put a hard focus on player development both for hockey skills and developing the players as people.
In the Summer of 2020, the Tri-City Youth Ice Hockey Association created a player development roadmap. This roadmap is designed to capture player development philosophies from the very first time a player touches the ice to the time they graduate high school.
GOAL
The goal of this roadmap is to capture player development philosophies. Our aim is to have a program where each level builds on the next, and where coaches can have an expectation of what skills an incoming player will have or will have been exposed to.
