TRANSFORM HOCKEY ACADEMY

Transform Hockey Academy (THA) offers a comprehensive educational and athletic program designed to cater to the needs of students in grades 7 through 12. With academics modeled after the successful Canadian Sports School, THA provides a unique educational experience tailored specifically to student-athletes, ensuring they can effectively balance academic pursuits with athletic endeavors while fulfilling all graduation requirements in British Columbia.

THA integrates academic instruction with athletic development to equip student-athletes with the skills and knowledge necessary for success both on and off the ice. Within our program, THA caters to both Middle School (grades 7-8) and High School (grades 9-12) cohorts, offering a comprehensive educational curriculum alongside specialized training in hockey.

 

 The Academy Program at THA is structured around four fundamental pillars:

 

 1. Academics: Students follow the British Columbia public school curriculum for grades 7-12, facilitated through SIDES (South Island Distance Education School) . Within a private school environment, student-athletes benefit from a diverse range of sport-specific credit options, all core courses, and ensuring they meet academic standards while pursuing their athletic ambitions.

 

 2. Strength Training: Through our state-of-the-art Transform Sports Performance Centre, students receive personalized strength training programs tailored to their individual needs. These programs encompass a spectrum of areas including strength, power, speed, mobility, stability, and skill training, enhancing athletic performance, and minimizing the risk of injury.

 

 3. On-Ice Development: Professional coaches oversee comprehensive on-ice training sessions focused on skating, skill development, and goalie training. Our 40-week program is meticulously designed to elevate players' performance and propel them to the next level of their hockey careers.

 

 4. Sport Performance & Hockey IQ Training: Weekly elective sessions cover a range of topics crucial for athletic success. These include the development of athlete portfolios, media training, nutrition, sports psychology, and concussion management workshops. Furthermore, students engage in classroom-based sessions aimed at refining on-ice decision-making skills through video analysis and strategic discussions.

 

At Transform Hockey Academy, we are committed to nurturing well-rounded student-athletes who excel academically, athletically, and personally, providing them with the tools and resources necessary to thrive in all aspects of life.
