The Islander Mite Development Program is the foundation of how great Islander hockey teams are built and how players start off correctly in the game of hockey. The MDP is a program designed for players with a good skating foundation that are looking to further develop their skills and also enjoy the game in a fun but productive atmosphere. Players will be prepared to compete in the Eastern Hockey Federation, New England's top youth league and one of the country's best. The MDP model touches on all of the necessary skills that produce well rounded players.
