Elite Hockey Development Program

The CT Condors is an elite program designed for highly motivated players who have set their sights on playing at top high school (prep) programs and beyond.  With a practice to game ration over 3:1,  the program has been modeled after researching a selection of highly successful Canadian, European, and US player-centered programs which focus on skill development and knowledge of the game while keeping hockey fun!  The hallmark of the program is the significant amount of ice time, as well as focused one-to-one coaching attention, allowing each player to reach their maximum potential.
