The Competitive Development Hockey Pathway is designed to give our youngest players a fun, comprehensive and age-appropriate hockey development experience in accordance with the Hockey Canada and Ontario Hockey Federation (OHF) Player Development Model.
This program was developed in 2018 by four neighbouring hockey associations (Forest Hill, Leaside, North Toronto and North York Knights. The Scarborough Hockey Association joined the following year.) with the additional goal of providing players and their families with a more consistent, time-efficient hockey schedule primarily on local rinks in our communities.
In 2021 clubs in Western Toronto formed a sister league called Competitive Development Program (CDP), which includes Faustina, George Bell, Humber Valley, Streetsville, Warren Park, West Mall. When Tiers require additional competition/variety games are arranged between CDS and CDP clubs, these are mostly on weekends to allow more time for travel.
In 2026 CDP and CDS were renamed Competitive Development Hockey Pathway (CDHP). Teams will still play their games as close to home as possible given suitable competition in proximity to their "home" rink(s).
The CDHP program is an extension of House League and is available to all registered 6, 7, and 8 year-old players (U7, U8, and U9) on a tryout basis.
This program is sanctioned by the GTHL and the operations are managed by Board executives and volunteers from the member clubs who oversee budgeting, scheduling, tiering, planning and coordination of the league.
Each member club is responsible for their own teams as follows:
· Player registration, tryouts, and roster approvals.
· Parents/team official approvals and certifications.
· Management and collection of tournament/exhibition approval forms.
