Player Colleges

Dear players and families of the Flames Community

The Central Flames Committee is excited to announce the expansion of our development program to include boys as well as girls from the Central Zone in 2018. The Flames Development College (the “College”) will kick off again in February this year as we look to build on the opportunities available to grow and develop young players in our sport.

The College is the vision of a group of parents and coaches within the region who are eager to improve the development of players in our Zone, and to provide them with greater opportunity to benefit from what Flames has to offer. The College has a succinct set of objectives:

  • To improve the development & retention of young players in the Zone

  • To increase the quality of experience for young players and establish awareness of lifetime opportunities provided through hockey (scholarships, representative teams, friendships, networking etc)

  • To increase participation within the Zone at the regional level

  • To improve the standard of coaching across the Zone by providing club coaches with high quality mentoring

Information on the College can be found in the attachments available from this page. However, succinctly:

  • COST: $120.00

  • DATES: Four (4) Sunday Mornings (from February 24th - March 24th excluding the Labour Day weekend)
