​
All athletes need to be registered to access the schedule for the PDP program, receive tasks from the coaches, and to have the ability to communicate with coaches and program members.
Parents should also register to have the ability to see what is going on in the program and to be able to communicate with program staff.

We are sorry to announce that we will not be able to attend the upcoming National/Provincial Championships in July. We have tried every avenue and left no rock unturned. We worked with numerous PSOs and WPC and still we do not have enough players to field competitive teams for Montreal.
We understand the disappointment you may be feeling and that is why we never stopped trying, but in the end it just didn't work out. At this point we want to free up this time frame for your family's summer plans.
The good news is Manitoba's new Provincial Development Program is now underway! All this training will pay off as we look towards attending next year's National Provincial Championships as well as other tournaments that will be announced closer to September.
In the meantime, we will also be working to host training camps with other clubs. You will receive lots of notice to ensure everyone is able to attend and make the most of their Provincial Development Experience.
