Comet Development League
"Friday Night Lights" at Chase Arena - All Season Long!
The Comet Development League (CDL) was built around the idea that kids need more hockey, not more pressure.
Every Friday night at Chase Arena, players of all ages and abilities will come together for what hockey is supposed to be: competing, creating, making mistakes, solving problems, and having fun in an environment that prioritizes development over standings, rankings, and trophies. (And skipping expensive leagues makes this super affordable as well as eliminates any need to travel to far-flung rinks!)
Players are placed on balanced teams, play meaningful games, get more puck touches, make more decisions, and develop the creativity and hockey sense that only comes from playing the game itself.
PRICING:
- Included FREE for all Natick Comets Travel players as part of their season tuition. All current players are automatically enrolled and it will appear as a separate Crossbar.
- $350 for players who are not currently on a travel team are also welcome to join, making the league an affordable way to get more ice time, more competition, and more opportunities to improve.
- Goalies always play free
The goal of this league is simple: let the kids play in a Friday night hockey league that doesn't require any travel and where kids can develop, compete, and fall even more in love with the game.
"As many as possible, as long as possible, as good as possible."
More hockey. More fun. More development.
That's what the Comet Development League is all about.
As Marty McFly once said "your kids are gonna love it!"
