Regional Development Squads

The Squads will be made up of 2nd year Peewee aged players who reside in the region in the current season. In order for a region to participate in the development program, it must have a minimum of two teams per region. The teams will be made up of seventeen (17) players, consisting of two (2) goaltenders, six (6) defensemen and nine (9) forwards (15 skaters).

The formation of the teams shall be determined by the Region, they may be formed by a geographical division within the Region, or by a method determined by the Region and approved by the Player Development Committee. The Region shall put in place a player selection process that will provide the opportunity for any 2nd year Peewee aged player the chance to try out for a team in their region if they so desire. Teams should not be formed as 'A' and 'B' teams, but to develop the skills of the individuals on teams as EQUAL as possible.

Team rosters cannot hold more than one (1) goaltender and seven (7) skaters that are registered on a Bantam AA or AAA roster.
