that, we have seven straight days where each group<br />
three hours per day on the ice and the same amount of<br />
time in the classroom. The kids learn what they must so<br />
they can become a real team and have a fair chance at<br />
success. They are taught how to properly and systematically<br />
play the game using drills and activities that have<br />
been designed specifically for them. This program has<br />
proven to succeed.<br />
Off-ice pedagogical sessions are also held in the classroom<br />
at the Kuujjuaq Forum, including team building<br />
and life skills. Proper knowledge and tools guide them<br />
in their individual and social development in an effort to<br />
help them become accomplished and responsible citizens.<br />
This component supports the two main objectives<br />
of the program—to educate and to prevent criminality.<br />
All aspects of the program, which strives for well-rounded<br />
individuals and not just hockey players, are used to evaluate<br />
players when selecting each Nunavik Nordiks team.<br />
Another important component of the NYHDP is to<br />
development local hockey trainers (LHTs). The NYHDP<br />
aimed to provide assistance to minor hockey development<br />
at the community level, while linking everything to<br />
the Select and tournaments component to provide high<br />
incentives and positive opportunities for youth.<br />
Typically the LHTs are current or past participants<br />
of the NYHDP, from 14 to 25 years old. Having Inuit<br />
LHTs who are products of the program is imperative<br />
for the sustainability of the NYHDP. They also act often<br />
as coaches during tournaments and are seen as role<br />
models for younger participants. They run on-ice practices<br />
and sometime off-ice sessions if the ice is not<br />
available. Over the years, some LHTs have also taken<br />
Hockey Québec’s coaching certification that is facilitated<br />
through the NYHDP. This training usually takes<br />
place in Kuujjuaq where the individuals find a supportive<br />
learning environment with feedback and assistance<br />
on the spot during practices. The certification process<br />
includes the development and implementation of<br />
practice plans, whereby the LHTs learn how to use an<br />
online resource that was developed for this purpose.<br />
The NYHDP has created alternative pathways for<br />
youth as they age out of the program. Some former<br />
NYHDP youth have become knowledgeable and reliable<br />
LHTs, working within their community. This helps<br />
them to make the transition out of the program easier<br />
as they become young adults. In the 2013-2014 season,<br />
there were dozens of LHTs across Nunavik and many<br />
of them got involved at the Select level.<br />
The increase in LHT staff has been quite successful but<br />
much training still remains to increase their confidence,<br />
knowledge and skills as leaders and coaches. The Select<br />
program has typically been used to facilitate the development<br />
of these young people who show great interest<br />
and passion.<br />
