Comet Development League
"Friday Night Lights" at Chase Arena - All FALL (Until Thanksgiving)!
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.
For scrimmages, players are placed on balanced teams each week for meaningful games, and also will get access to clinics & practices that we will run on these sheets.
This means more puck touches, make more decisions, and time to 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.
- $175 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
- Note for the FALL SEASON: Comet Travel Squirts are allowed to "age up" as we have room on the 12U Sheet due to lots of Fall Sports conflicts.
The goal of this league is simple: let the kids play hockey locally on a Friday night in a way that helps them fall 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!"
