WFLF Developmental League

The WFLF 'D-League' is a year-round program aimed at introducing hockey to active duty and retired military members, and the greater Hampton Roads community at large, who possess limited or no ice hockey experience. The program focuses learning the game of hockey while playing the games.

Teams are chosen prior to each game by coaches based on experience level and capability. Each game is facilitated by an on-ice coach. Prior to the game, coaches facilitate a ‘warm-up’ drill. During the games, coaches may stop play to point out situations or opportunities. All instruction is provided by the WFLF coaching team.

Each 'season' is 10 weeks long consisting of 3 full-hour practices and 7 facilitated games. Players may register for the entire season or join us at any time. In each practice and game the coaches will focus on game-play situations, including:

• Team-focused play
• Offensive and defensive strategies
• Power play and penalty kills situations
• Position responsibilities in defensive, neutral and offensive zones
• Shooting, passing, stick-handling and puck possession skill
