U18 Development Plan plus National Hockey Championship for 2020

OHA’s revised plan for the U18 Rep Program for 2020

We want to offer a meaningful Rep experience to our U18 players and our National Hockey Championship players after Covid19.

Our plan is to select 4 teams in total:

• Young U18 team – Players with the 04/03 birth dates
  • We will have 2-3 senior players play with this group of players to help guide/ coach them on the field
• Old U18 team – players with 03/02 birth dates
  • We may have 1 or 2 senior player play with this group of players to guide/ coach them on the field
• U20 team – players with 01 birth dates
• NHC team – any age group

We would like each team to have a coach and if possible, an assistant coach.

The teams will play on a Sunday morning

• 10.00am - 11.00am time slot
• 11.00am – 12noon time slot

The teams will just play, there will be no training.

As much as we want this to be competitive, this is a development opportunity. We are looking for learnings to be done:

• Before the game in team talks
• During the games
• After the games in debriefs

There will be a real emphasis on team talks and debriefs/ reflection time after the games.

The format of this will be we play a round robin and then finals round. The dates for this will be:

Series 1

• Round 1 Sunday 26^th July
• Round 2 Sunday 2^nd August
• Round 3 Sunday 9^th August
• Finals Sunday 16^th August

Series 2 

• Round 1 Sunday 13th  September
• Round 2 Sunday 20th September
• Round 3 Sunday 27^th September
• Finals Sunday 4th October

Games will be 27-minute halves. 

Registration for these teams does not guarantee you will be selected to play. Selection will be based on performances at school and club games through June and July.

Teams will be announced on facebook/ website and players will be emailed to make sure they are available to play
