What is a Hockey Canada Acredited School

A HCAS is a program begun by Hockey Canada to allow student-athletes to combine their academics with elite athletics.  PHA is a HCAS, which means our program and education requirements are mandated by Hockey Canada. HCAS allows us to incorporate our hockey, both on ice and off ice into the academic schedule. Giving the student-athlete a 75 minute on ice and a 75 minute off ice hockey class each day, during the high school class schedule. This leaves our evenings open for academics, friends, family and overall student life. We focus on skill development and academics during the week so that we can play in showcase tournaments on the weekend.

Dorms/Billets

Our student-athletes will stay in the high school dorms at Briercrest Christian Academyl. The dorms have two single beds to a room, a large built in double work station for homework and shared bathrooms. Each dorm has Resident Directors and Resident Assistants on each floor.

Student-athletes can live at home or with a billet if preferred

Schedule

The schedule can be found on our website for further info. However, each team will practice for 75 minutes during a class period of each school day and have a 75 minute off-ice hockey class as well. The hockey class will vary from strength & conditioning, leadership, mental training, nutrition, tactics, etc. Every evening we have study hall from 7:30 – 8:30pm, ensuring that our student-athletes keep their academics a priority.
