ABOUT SASK FIRST:
The Sask First Program was introduced by Hockey Saskatchewan in 1988 and since that time the program has brought great pride and accomplishment within our province. The Sask First Program was designed to provide a better understanding of the game as well as to promote the development of quality players, coaches, trainers, and officials. The participants are enriched as individuals and can achieve self-satisfaction and enjoyment as part of the hockey community.
The Sask First Program is a gateway to Hockey Canada’s High-Performance Program which includes their National Teams such as the World Juniors. There is a long list of notable players who have gone through the Sask First Program which includes NHL players Chandler Stephenson, Brayden Schenn, and Damon Severson, just to name a few. Up and coming players such as Nolan Allan, Kevin Korchinski, and Connor Zary also went through the Sask First Program.
