Development Programs

Expert-led station-based training focused on power skating and edge work for youth hockey players in Carleton Place and the Ottawa Valley. Our programs follow HEO age divisions with specialized instruction designed to build elite skating fundamentals through progressive development. Sessions run year-round at various arenas across the Ottawa Valley, serving players from Almonte, Arnprior, Perth, Smiths Falls, and surrounding communities.

Winter Break

While other players take two weeks off, yours can get ahead. Our Winter Break camp packs concentrated skating and skills development into the holiday break — the perfect mid-season boost when players are fresh and motivated.

Shout out to the coaching staff for job well done. It makes 4 years my son has been struggling to stop on his left side and now he's able too. Each session he's skating stronger and with more confidence.

Frequently Asked Questions

Our programs serve youth hockey players following HEO age divisions (U7, U9, U11, U13, U15). The hockey season runs July 1 to June 30. For summer 2026 and the 2026/27 season: U7 (born 2020–2021), U9 (born 2018–2019), U11 (born 2016–2017), U13 (born 2014–2015), U15 (born 2012–2013). Each group receives age-appropriate instruction tailored to their development stage.

Sessions are held at various arenas throughout the Ottawa Valley, including Carleton Place, Almonte, Arnprior, Perth, Smiths Falls, and surrounding communities. Locations vary by program and season.

No prior hockey experience is required. Our youngest programs (U7) focus on building skating confidence and fundamentals from the ground up. More advanced groups build on existing skills with progressive training.

Station-based training divides the ice into focused skill stations where small groups rotate through drills. This maximizes ice time, ensures individualized coaching feedback, and keeps players engaged throughout the session.

We offer programs year-round including spring sessions, summer hockey camps, March Break clinics, and winter break training. Check our season tabs above for current dates and availability.
