Karissa Anderson's Company Details
Founded in Edmonton, Alberta in 2017, the Hockey Super League (HSL) is an alternative to minor hockey winter season for players born in 2010, 2009, 2008, 2007, 2006,2005 and 2004. The HSL has grown to over 60 team and 1000 athletes in 8 Divisions and has many of the top age group players in the province. The HSL was created to provide an opportunity for athletes to participate in a privately-operated program that's goal is to develop high level hockey players and create leaders both on and off the ice. The HSL is not a registered league with Hockey Canada or Hockey Alberta; we are independent of these organizations. All players and staff of HSL teams are fully insured and we have advanced player rules and officiating training that has resulted in safer game play.Athletes are not restricted by borders or boundaries and can play for programs that best meets their development goals not based on where they live. We believe that athletes should not have to uproot their academic commitments to pursue a specialized hockey program. We believe that hockey is defined by the people who play game not by the people who administer it.Our development philosophy consists of working with and empowering HSL franchises that have a fundamental focus on creating long term developmental plans for their athletes. Similar to the European hockey and soccer development model; we believe that it is essential to have a higher ratio of practice sessions to games in order to improve an athlete's skills and performance in competition. We believe that consistent high-level instruction is required over a long period of time in order to reach optimal athletic development and that success should not be measure by short term wins and losses but rather on individual skill development and athletic growth within a team setting. Access to professional skills coaches are mandatory requirements of acceptance into the HSL as a way of ensuring the athletes receive the best training and development.
