Rapid Hockey Development is a privately owned hockey program that trains, exposes and supports its athletes in achieving their long-term goals. For over 25 years, Rapid has invested in both the on and off ice development of our athletes. Our work over the years has centered around the growth of the individual first, allowing them to fully develop in all facets of the game. We view ourselves as an institution preparing our athletes for the next level.
We also work as technical staff for a number of Regions and Organizations under the Hockey Quebec umbrella.
