The 2009 Jr Blues philosophy is to develop and grow hockey skills, knowledge and enjoyment of the game of hockey.

• Have the players play for fun, not play out of fear
  • We use a positive coaching strategy that allows the players to learn from their mistakes and feel a sense of accomplishment
  • Kids will not be singled out or punished for their mistakes
  • Encourage kids to try new things on the ice regardless if they are successful
• Long Term Skill Development
  • Provide an environment for the players to learn skills at a high level of play that they will be able to use short term and long term
  • Equip the player with the skills necessary to have the decision to play competitive hockey at a higher level at an older age
  • Teach the value of hard work, discipline and self control
• Team and life skills
  • Teach the players what it means to be a good teammate and be proud of being a part of a team
  • Participate in community events to show the players what is means to give back to the community
  • 2018 Food Bank Collection Initiative currently being planned
  • Continue to be a proud participant in the Run for Mandi event
