FLORIDA ALLIANCE PROGRAM INFORMATION SAHOF SANCTIONED TIER 1 HOCKEY PROGRAM PURPOSE OF THE FLORIDA ALLIANCE The purpose of the Florida Alliance is to provide the highest level of training, exposure opportunities, and game competition to the players who have the ability to play Tier I hockey. By having one SAHOF sanctioned Tier I program in the State the options to play Tier I hockey have been scaled back. However the result will be the players who truly have the ability to play at the highest level will be able to do so with other players of the same ability. Combining the Tier I talent into one program will assist in our goal of further developing Florida s youth hockey players. One of the main battles has been the rosters are not deep enough to win against the top talent in the country on a consistent basis. The Florida Alliance opens the door to feature rosters filled with talented players from top to bottom. The Tier I player in the State of Florida will have an option to train together and develop to a higher level with the Florida Alliance. FLORIDA ALLIANCE PROGRAM DIRECTION The Florida Alliance program went through a revamping this off season. As many as 15 respected hockey coaches and program operators from around the State had a face to face meeting to discuss Tier I hockey in the State and what direction Tier I in Florida should be moving forwards. It was decided not all the Florida Alliance teams should be full season Tier I teams. Meaning non national bound teams should not be attending 5 to 7 out of State tournaments, driving all over the State for practices, and spending thousands of dollars on travel and hotels. The plan moving forward for this year s Florida Alliance is the 04, 03, 02, 01, 00, 99, and 98 birth year teams to be Tier I Tournament teams. The U16 Midget Minor team will be a full season Tier I team. WWW.FLORIDAALLIANCEAAA.COM
