a development experience
designed to educate and

parents. The goals of
the program include: to
introduce players,
families and staff to
high performance hockey,
the Program of
Excellence and the
Ontario Hockey League;
to create a unique and
special life and hockey
experience for all
players and staff
involved; and to develop
players and staff both
on and off the ice.
For the 2012 program,
players who were born in
1997 are eligible.
Players will participate
in intense, high
