The Program Philosophy

An HCSA Program must be sanctioned for operation by Hockey Canada and Hockey Canada Branches.

The program must be designed to compliment/enhance skill development opportunities within the current Hockey Canada Branches and their minor hockey associations.

The program must be accessible to male and female students of all ages and all skill levels (designated grade levels) who may or may not be registered in the local minor hockey association.

Partner with the school system to support individual skill development and academic achievement.

Ensure student access by providing aid, through a well defined equity policy, to participants where required.

Create an environment that has an exclusive focus on individual student development.
