2025-26

The Thunder Bay Kings In-Season Development Program is a season-long before school program for dedicated young players (boys and girls).

The focus is power skating,  shooting,  passing,  on ice awareness and skill development.

For each age group, we are looking for 27 players (24 skaters and 3 goalies)  who want to grow their game and move on to the next level.

This season, the program will include the following age groups and draft schedule:

U9  (2017) Monday

U10 (2016) Tuesday

U11 (2015) Wednesday

Each group will include 24 skaters and up to 3 goalies.

The program provides 24 1-hour sessions during the course of the regular hockey season (late September to late March with a break for the Christmas holidays).  These skates will happen once a week before school (from 6:45 am to 7:45 am) at FWFN Arena Rink 2.  Skates will start the week of September 29.

The coaches for the program will be from the Kings Development Program.

The cost will be $980.00 plus HST.  This can be made in two installments (#1 by September 15 and #2 by December 1). The cost for goalies will be $360.00 plus HST (due September 15).  Jerseys will be provided.
