On Saturday June 4th, Hockey Quebec unveiled its 2011-2013 development plan for girls hockey. The plan features a thorough review of the strengths and weaknesses of girls hockey in Quebec.
And, it examines each of Hockey Quebec's four categories Initiation, Recreation, Competition and Excellence. A departure for Hockey Quebec is that they define competition as narrow as just two categories, Peewee AA and Bantam AA.
Also, new, is the inclusion of Midget AA as a part of the excellence program.
The plan is looking to create a girls only intiation program (Pre-Novice-Novice/MAGH) across the province and build a base of girls who are start in girls hockey and continue all the way through in girls hockey.
In so doing, there is a belief that the delivery of service can be standardized across the province.
Also, Hockey Quebec is looking to build a relationship with former elite level players and have them return to work as coaches to help develop the girls program. An excellent step towards fortifying the development across the province!
