Hockey Academy

The Hockey Canada Skills Academy aims to provide students with attitudes, knowledge, and skills that are mandatory to improve learning and enhance performance. All students will have success while believing in themselves and striving for their own personal excellence. This program creates a positive skills based environment that links sport with education.

Students in the Hockey Options program will:

  • Be knowledgeable about sport skill development through proper training techniques associated with hockey.
  • Objectively assess their fitness strengths and weaknesses, establish performance goals and evaluate the success of associated training programs.
  • Enhance their personal development through sport, through leadership, volunteering, and work experience.

Hockey Academy Components

The Hockey Academy is broken up into three parts where students will participate in on-ice skills development (at the hockey rink) and in off-ice skills development (gym and weight room) / theory and classroom instruction. Students must have all their certified hockey equipment at the school or dropped off at the designated hockey rink for on-ice sessions.
