The various Selects boys and girls teams are again gearing up for this year's 2008 Spring Invitational Hockey Tournament.

Boys from Major Novice to Major PeeWee.
Girls in PeeWee, Bantam and Midget.

The majority of the divisions will be playing in the later part of May or first part of June.  Stay tuned.

In the fall of 2001 the Southern Alberta Selects Hockey Association started a morning skill development program for Atom and PeeWee players that was very well attended. Building on that success, it was continued on in the fall of 2002 to present in various forms.

With the achievement of this program and the request for a wider scope of technical development for the association, the program was expanded for both male and female Selects members and their siblings.

We hope to continue offering Skill Development programs for both male and female divisions of Novice, Atom, PeeWee and possibly Bantam into the foreseeable future.

Please watch for announcements on internal and partner programs.

The Selects Program is built around the principles of learning, competition and fun within a structured environment.

Each player invited to the Selects program is pre-scouted to ensure that they are an accelerated caliber player. The focus is on the development of a well balanced team made up of talented, disciplined and dedicated hockey players that will be capable of competing at the AAA level. The program aims to make the experience a positive one for the player, their family and the team. The advancement of hockey skills also includes the development of character, and the Selects Association places a high value on the development of positive life skills that will be valuable to each player in their growth as a person.

As a bonus, the Selects association aims to assist players in making informed decisions on their athletic and educational opportunities.

The organization has been very fortunate during its existence to have the support of the corporate and private community along with government sporting infrastructure (inluding Alberta Lotteries). The importance and value of donations cannot be understated as we strive to develop quality athletes and confident young leaders. As a not-for-profit organization we offer a receipt for any donations received. The form of the receipt would be by way of a letter of recognition or thanks that can be used as a receipt. We will attempt to give a donor whatever suits their requirements for reporting and file purposes.
