Our hockey program is designed for boys and girls in Grades 7 through 12 and provides students with the opportunity to advance their hockey skills and knowledge of the game. Our program helps student athletes attain the physical, mental, and emotional skills necessary to enhance their game playing experience.

Students in this program make use of flexible scheduling to balance their academic programming with access to high level coaches and instructors working to improve their hockey skills.

The program has been designed to help students develop the playing and teamwork skills needed to succeed at a competitive level. On average, students receive between 1.5 to 4.5 hours of on-ice instruction per week. For players participating at the “AAA” or junior levels, ice time is adjusted to maximize their performance.

To ensure the strength of the academic-athletic connection, our Hockey program directors work full-time in the school and in cooperation with teaching staff. This partnership guarantees a balanced academic and sport experience. Students have access to fitness facilities in Vimy Ridge Academy and a skating treadmill at Donnan School.
