For Nicholas, attending the Academy this year has been one the best experiences of his young hockey career.
Moving to new high school has been an almost painless transition because of the instant and supportive peer group established through the hockey community at school. His improved on the ice performance is easily quantifiable. Doug Pochailo

Craig,- My son he has become an outstanding student as a result of mixing school with the sport he loves. John Reimer

The hockey academy is a wonderful thing. I asked Charlie to rate it out of 10 and he said 10. Mrs. Harrison

This without a doubt the best thing Jen has been involved in, Not only for hockey but also with school. Jen has always been a good student but her grades are even better Tim Gilligan

Putting Mitch in the Hockey Academy was the best thing I ever did for his hockey development and you can quote me. Mitch recently drafted by the Vancouver Giants Charlie Spooner National Training Rink Langley

I have seen a vast improvement in my son’s on and off ice skill and discipline. We told our son at the beginning of the program, that in order to continue going to the academy he must do well in his academics, and he has!
He not only brings home great marks, but he also looks forward to going to school every day. Pat Newberry
