New For 2023-24 Season
About The Competitive Development Stream (CDS) U7/U8/U9
Ted Reeve is excited to be joining the Competitive Development Stream (CDS) https://sites.google.com/view/cds-hockey/home?authuser=0 a competitive hockey development program for players in divisions U7, U8, and U9.
CDS was started by Leaside Hockey Association and neighbouring hockey associations to provide a more age appropriate hockey development experience in a league close to home. CDS teams compete against other hockey clubs in the program. The CDS program is sanctioned by the GTHL and it complies with the Hockey Canada Player Development Model https://www.hockeycanada.ca/en-ca/hockey-programs/players/essentials. It is run by a Board that is made up of volunteers from member clubs.
CDS is an extension of our U7, U8, and U9 house league program. It is specifically designed for players who would like more development and age appropriate competition as part of their House League experience.
Players must be registered in Ted Reeve’s house league program in order to be evaluated for one of our CDS teams. The evaluations take place in September and are run by an objective third party. No positions are offered prior to evaluations except for one player associated with the Head Coach.
Games within the CDS program comply with the Ontario Hockey Federation Player Development Model https://www.ohf.on.ca/players/player-pathways and help players utilize skills learned in house league. Visit https://sites.google.com/view/cds-hockey/home/rules-and-gameplay?authuser=0 for more information on rules and game play.
Players on CDS teams are still actively involved in our House League program. In addition, to house league games and practices, CDS players participate in additional practices and league games. CDS players can also participate in tournaments.
