Here’s Our WHY
About
Prairie Hockey Academy
Hockey is life-changing. Anyone who has ever tied on a pair of skates and committed wholeheartedly to take it on knows this. Often though, a life can be changed for better or for worse.
Unfortunately for many young men, the 'better or worse' outcome feels like a coin flip, determined by the quality and character of the coaching, leadership, and mentoring they receive. Heads - a positive experience. Tails - a damaging one.
At Prairie Hockey Academy, creating a positive, life-changing transformation for young men through a commitment to hockey is not a coin flip. It is not left to chance. It is our purpose, passion, and mission. It is the reason we were founded.
The thrill and challenge of entering the arena and testing yourself through competition is a natural, empowering force. It is a force required to forge the next generation of strong leaders in our world, our country, our communities, and our homes.
Begun on the ice, this unforgettable journey should culminate in a life well-lived and a legacy of contribution. The journey must be intentional, focused, and principled. It requires great teaching and coaching. It requires accountability and guidance. Nothing significant in life comes for free or without effort, sacrifice, and teamwork.
“Members of Prairie Hockey Academy are committed to success, on the ice, in the classroom, in community, and ultimately in life. We understand success is a process requiring both growth and failure. We don’t shy from that reality. We embrace it.”
Prairie Hockey Academy is not for every young man or every family. We ask a lot of each member of our community. We have high expectations and we won't compromise. Our members appreciate the realized value in that commitment.
