2026 Summer High-Performance Player (HPP) Program

This elite level Senators Elite Program is intended for AAA & AA PLAYERS ONLY. All registrations are subject to review by the Head of Hockey Development to protect the elite nature of this program.

The SEHD Spring program was awesome! The position-specific on-ice training, in-class mentoring, and gym sessions all helped push my boundaries and prepare me for the upcoming season.
