NSD Hockey’s primary goal is to offer a comprehensive tiered development program, based upon each players current specific skill sets. By doing this, NSD is able to develop all players, as well as, assist each player individually in achieving their highest level of play.

The NSD Spring Hockey Program is designed to give Elite, Premiere, Academy and Mighty Mite players an age-specific program that is properly balanced within their respective spring season. Each program is comprised of a varying degree of skill development, systems and tactics, off-ice conditioning (Speed, Agility, Quickness, Boxing, Sport Conditioning, etc.), as well as, game/tournament play. All teams are developed and trained through exposure to NSD coaching principles, concepts and strategies. Each program is guaranteed to be delivered in a fun, yet intensive team oriented atmosphere.

If you are serious about developing your game to the highest level - NSD Spring Hockey is for you!
