About CDS Hockey
Competitive Development Stream (CDS) hockey gives our youngest players their first opportunity to expand their House League experience by playing on a Leaside team that competes against other hockey clubs. CDS is excellent preparation for future participation on a GTHL or Select team (U10 - U18).
In the fall, all LHA House League players that would like to play CDS are evaluated and placed on a CDS team with players of a similar skill level. CDS is an additional commitment of time and cost as players enjoy additional practices and games each week with their CDS team. As a volunteer-driven organization, the LHA relies on parent involvement to make each program a success. Parents who are interested in taking a more active role in their child's experience are strongly encouraged to volunteer.
** Please note ** CDS players continue to be an active part of the LHA House League program throughout the season. To be eligible to join a CDS team, players must be registered in the LHA House League program prior to CDS evaluations. Players registered in Learn To Play are not eligible for CDS.
CDS games follow the Ontario Hockey Federation Player Development Model designed to develop both age-appropriate hockey skills and a lifelong love for the game. CDS games also follow specific Rules and Gameplay that differ by age.
Please reach out to Catherine at coordinator@leasidehockey.com if you have any questions about CDS or if you would like to volunteer.
