U11-HADP 2023-2023 Update & Season Plan

 

NEW - Hockey Alberta U11 HADP Program Details

For the 2022-23 hockey season, Hockey Alberta is expanding the U11 AA Pilot Project province wide and renaming it the U11 Hockey Alberta Development Pilot (U11 HADP). The focus of the U11 HADP is to implement amended hosting structures, player movement rules, league scheduling and Coach and Player Development Standards.

The goal of the U11 HADP is to identify the best overall structure for the top level of U11 and to ensure alignment and progression within the entire hockey system. The Principles of Long-Term Athlete Development and Hockey Canada’s U11 Pathway will be followed, as the best philosophy for developing players is to create an environment where similarly skilled players can compete.

To ensure that all U11 players in Alberta that want to play and have the skill to play at the top level of U11, specific Player Movement Regulations have been developed to address the parameters of the Pilot. Players who do not have access to a U11 HADP team within their resident MHA will be permitted to pursue a U11 HADP tryout with a HADP-hosting MHA that is accepting HADP tryout players.

Leduc will accept requests from U11 players in Calmar, Drayton Valley, Millet, Thorsby, Warburg and Winfield.  Players in Devon and New Serepta must apply in Beaumont.

LMHA zoned players are required to tryout in Leduc and do not have an option to request an outside tryout.  No 2nd tryouts are allowed for any players in Alberta.
