Prerequisite(s): None
Special Training, Facilities or Equipment Required:
§ Facilities: Use of local ice arena facility (Kerry Park Recreation Centre) will be included as
part of this program. Students enrolled in the hockey academy will require ice facilities for
on ice skill development and training, a classroom setting to learn tactical physiological
and basic life style training to excel in sport and weight training equipment. Beyond these
needs it is expected that students will be introduced to sport specific equipment as found at
facilities throughout the Cowichan Valley.
§ Equipment: Students will be required to provide their own CSA approved hockey
equipment (jersey, helmet, pads and stick)
§ Associated Fees: Proposed fee is $224.00 per month, or $1120.00 for a 5-month semester.
Course Synopsis:
This course builds upon the skills developed in Ice Hockey Skills 10 and 11, students at all
levels will be provided with coaching appropriate to their development.
Course content includes the development of technical skills (power skating included),
individual tactics, team tactics, team play/systems, and strategy, off-ice training specific to
hockey and health and wellness. In addition, Ice Hockey Skills 12 provides more mentoring
and opportunities for peer-to-peer teaching, development of on ice practice planning and
learning how to teach the technical instruction of the sport and team management.
Students will be required to have previous skating experience and preferably some hockey
skills. This course provides the opportunity for male and female athletes to improve their
hockey skills and develop and practice coaching skills and team management.
o The Academy is proposed to be a partnership between our schools and district and The
Pacific Rim Hockey Academy (PRHA).
o Students will take a regular program for seven of their eight courses. The eighth course
will be a hockey-related course, which takes place in a combination of on-ice, dryland and
classroom environments.
o The academy course will be taught by a combination of personnel. There will be a teacher
from current school staffing assigned to the course, who will ultimately be responsible for
actual on-ice instruction, as well as all assessment, evaluation and reporting. The teacher
will be assisted in the instructional portion of the course by coaches and hockey
professionals from PRHA.
Rationale:
Like Hockey Skills 10 and 11, this course has been designed to allow student athletes the
opportunity to increase their hockey skills during the school day. The average 16/17 year old
community hockey player averages between 1.5 and 2.5 hours of practice time per week. By
taking advantage of the local unused ice available during the day, this course affords students
the opportunity to further develop their individual skills, increase their enjoyment of hockey
and their engagement in schooling overall.
Research indicates that having students actively involved in their chosen sport, during school
hours, will increase positive attitudes towards school in general. Further, by increasing skill
development, students will enhance their potential for enjoyment in a sport that will keep them
physically engaged and help maintain a healthy, positive lifestyle beyond graduation.
