SDP's 18U/16U Elite Program focuses on development and exposure.  What does that mean?  At SDP, our players receive high-end training  with elite level coaches, as well as the opportunity to compete with and against the top players in their age group throughout North America.  By securing bids to Elite tournaments and playing in showcases with other top teams, our athletes also gain exposure to pro, college, and junior team scouts.  As we strive to hit our high development goals for each player, it's important to us to do so while creating a fun and challenging environment that fosters in our athletes a love and passion for the game of hockey.  Without that, we've missed the mark.

SDP 2023 18U/16U Teams

For the 2023 season, SDP will field 18U and 16U teams.  Team programs include:

  • 55-60 hours of development ice - high intensity training, including instruction with our power skating coach
  • 4-5 Tournaments/Showcases
  • Games against local Tier 1 programs (e.g. Shattuck, North Star Christian Academy)

Development ice will be held in the Northwest suburbs.

SDP is one of the few programs in the State of Minnesota to receive approval through MN and USA Hockey to participate in Tier 1 sanctioned events.
