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, officials and administrators. The participants are enriched as individuals and can achieve self-satisfaction and enjoyment as part of the hockey community. The Sask First Program promotes a team concept which encompasses the pursuit of common goals. It is emphasized that every one on the team must pursue their personal goals within the team environment and that no one individual is more important than the team. Team success comes from all team members melding their talents, skills and energies toward the achievement of the team's goals. The Sask First Program is about respecting the past, the tradition. Successes such as the gold medal performances at the 1995 Canada Winter Games, the 1998 Western International Under 17 Hockey Challenge and the 2004 World Under 17 Hockey Challenge are bench marks to remember and use as an incentive for future achievements. The Sask First Program's team success has assisted in individuals achieving personal success in the game. Examples are Cory Sarich, Patrick Marleau, Rhett Warriner, Robyn Regehr, Jarret Stoll, Nick Schultz, Brenden Morrow and Ryan Getzlaf. As well as, Jessica Campbell, Mandi Schwartz, Colleen Sostorics and several others. These young men and women, former Sask First players are not only great hockey players, but good citizens. The next chapters of Sask First will be written by young players who want to excel in the sport that they love.
