What Can Be Done During a Development Weekend?

Well, we will start by saying what cannot be done. During the Development Weekend, no teams can participate in organized hockey games in New Brunswick. Saying that, there are not many other limitations as to what can be done during the weekend.

Hockey New Brunswick offers a variety of programs that associations may inquire about hosting during the Development Weekend. These Program’s include:

 Esso Fun Days
 Initiation Program Jamborees
 Female First Skills Camp
 Hockey Canada Skills Camps
 Chev Safe and Fun Hockey

 National Skills Standards and Testing program
