To help achieve these goals, Hockey Alberta:

• Instructs and follows the best practices in coaching and established sport science for creating the best hockey experience possible.
• Adjusts competition formats and training to best serve the capacities and developmental needs of children.
• Understands that player development, is a long-term process and it takes time.
• Focuses on fun and skill development in the early years for our players.
• Offers skill development camps for athletes of all ages and abilities throughout the year.

A key aspect of supporting our athletes is providing resources and support for parents across the province.
