Team Canada and the National Development Program

July 01, 2025

In 2025, a new era for Canadian roller hockey began with the launch of the Team Canada National Development Program. A partnership between Roller Hockey Canada and State Wars Hockey brought together the country’s top young talent, uniting players from Alberta, Ontario, and a handful from New Brunswick and British Columbia.
 
The inaugural program fielded teams across multiple age divisions: 8U, 10U, 12U, 14U, 16U, and a Mens and Womens Junior teams, each representing the pinnacle of Canadian roller hockey talent in their respective age groups. While most players hailed from Roller Hockey hotbeds like Alberta and Ontario, the Junior team showcased a truly national roster, including standout athletes from New Brunswick and British Columbia.
 
Despite being its first year, the program quickly generated excitement and set a new standard for Canadian roller hockey. By providing elite coaching, national-level competition, and a pathway for young players to develop and compete internationally.
 
With 2025 as its launching pad the Team Canada National Development Program heads into 2026 with energy, momentum and high expectations.
