Stoney Creek Sabres DS
For those unfamiliar to Development Stream (DS) it is a subset of the House
League Program, offering a tryout-based, enhanced opportunity for House League
players who are:
·
Looking
for a development bridge to competitive hockey or
·
Do
not wish to make the commitment, in time or cost, to competitive hockey but am
seeking more competition and skill development that is afforded by house league
alone.
DS teams will carry 15 players and 2 goalies. Please
keep in mind if more than 15 players &/or 2 goalies are interested there
will be cuts made.
There is an additional cost to play DS. These costs would
include entry costs for up to 2 tournaments, 4 exhibition games & 6 hours
for practices. We would also receive 4 away exhibition games as
well. Yes, DS is a big commitment, in addition to the "normal"
house league schedule.
Each team decides on which tournament to enter which are scheduled between
January to April this season. Most teams
have played in 2 tournaments each season in the past.
We work to schedule exhibition games and practices where they do
not conflict with house league games but could be on the same day.
DS tryouts are
scheduled for the following dates:
- U9 – Not offered by OWHA this season
- U11 – Only 1 HL team so not able to run a DS team
- U13 – Thursday November 20th at Valley Park at 6:00 pm
for 1 hour
- U15 – No goalie for either HL team so not running a DS team
- U18 – Thursday November 20th at Valley Park at 7:00 pm
for 1 hour
- U22 – Not offered by OWHA this season
Please click the link to register with
no fee. Deadline for registration is before the tryout date for your division!
