Learn About The Day In The Life of a PHA Student-Athlete

At Prairie Hockey Academy, we have created a schedule that allows our student-athletes to stay on top of their academic performance while focusing on the development of their athletic career.

In partnership with Briercrest Christian Academy, our student-athletes have the opportunity to enroll in a 3-semester program that allows them to complete all required classes plus a number of elected courses each year. Although, they will have a different schedule than an average student, it is our desire to fully integrate PHA athletes with the regular student body.

Outlined below is an overview of our academic schedule for PHA student-athletes in Semesters 1, 2 and 3. PHA student-athletes would earn 7 credits over the first two semesters and earn 1 credit for the third semester.

SEMESTER 1 & 2

  • Breakfast 7:30 am - 9:00 am

  • Period 1 8:30 am - 9:45 am Core Course 1 credit

  • Period 2 9:50 am – 10:35 am Chapel/Christian Ethics Course 0.5 credit

  • Period 3 10:40 am – 11:55 am On-Ice Training

  • Period 4 12:25 am – 1:15 pm Noon (Lunch 11:30 am - 1:00 pm)

Each day is divided between classroom learning periods and on/off ice training sessions to ensure that PHA student-athletes maintain balance in both their academic studies and athletic performance.

In addition, PHA student-athletes will have the opportunity to experience some of the best on and off ice training in Saskatchewan and in turn will be a step ahead of their peers when it comes to skill development.

Here is a breakdown of where PHA student-athletes will allocate their time each year:

  • Games Played 45+

  • On Ice Hours 165 - 205

  • Off Ice Hours 185 - 215

  • Study Hall Hours 140
