NOVICE DEVELOPMENT LEAGUE

Novice Half Ice Video (Benefits and Guidelines)!!!

The Novice Development League (NDL) is a partnership between Hockey Calgary and its community member associations in which they operate the Novice age category as a skills based age category. The NDL focuses on skill development and the fundamentals of hockey for kids aged 7 and 8. The purpose of this league is to address the need for more skill development in the novice age category. Our goal is to provide a positive environment for learning the fundamentals of hockey and to stimulate interest and desire to continue playing the game of hockey.

The NDL is a league in which the associations promote coach, parent, official and player education during the season. Each player will be evaluated fairly within each association and placed on a team where they are best suited. Teams are limited to when and how many games they can play. As a result, players will practice more and play fewer games to increase their skills before playing full ice games compared to that of other age categories
