About Hockey Academy

Typically, hockey at the Academy level is 4-5 days per week of structured on-ice training and off-ice workouts with a full-time strength and conditioning coach. The team plays games on weekends (2-3 games per weekend) with intentional rest periods in between. Incorporated with off-ice training is MMA, boxing, stretching and yoga. Private training is available on “off nights” at the discretion of the player as well as membership to RapidShot and RapidHands training devices at the rink’s off-ice training facility.

The Academy combines online academics, on-ice athletic excellence and off-ice development in a dynamic environment structured to provide your student-athlete with the opportunities and confidence to achieve the finest results. We provide unmatched high level player development with 21st century education, residence life, daily professional skill development and best in class full season hockey schedule.

The Knights Academy model will help your player master the skill of time management, enabling them to have more time training on and off the ice.
