JR. RAIDERS PHILOSOPHY
Why play for the Jr. Raiders? Our Philosophy:
Player development is the central principle of the Jr. Raiders program. We don’t measure success by wins and losses but rather by how our players develop through the course of the season. As our players improve and learn both individual skills and team play, the results on the ice will be markedly noticeable. The Jr. Raiders professional skills coaches work with each team on a weekly basis, providing age and skill-level appropriate development practices.
The Jr. Raiders overarching philosophy is to focus on hockey and the kids who are playing the game for THEIR enjoyment and passion for the sport. Our focus is to teach them the game and develop them as players and as people. We will limit the number of teams we have at each level, which will place the emphasis on the player and not the number of bodies we have in the program.
