This is a program open to students from the lower Vancouver Island regions that are presently enrolled in a Minor Hockey Association. Academy students receive academic support combined with hockey skills development including classes instructed by nationally trained staff, leadership and character development opportunities, instruction in fitness, nutrition, sport psychology, and physiology in relation to hockey all while receiving high school credit for on-ice instruction. Hockey Academy students are on ice on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, throughout the year, while Tuesday and Thursday students are in the gymnasium or classroom.  These two courses run all year and count as credit towards PE and toward the hockey elective. Students who demonstrate a strong commitment to the sport combined, with academic demands, will be considered.
