CHE Academy will begin accepting applications at the conclusion of the 2025-26 hockey season. In the interim, interested families can stay informed and up to date on all updates by completing an information request through the following link.

All players registering for CHE Academy need to be fully certified to participate in U18 competition sanctioned through Hockey Canada. The application process will involve three separate steps, where we require all information necessary for: on-ice participation, academic participation, and billeting program (if required).

Full costs for the 2026-27 season will be announced at the beginning of 2026 calendar year.

Students will attend Holy Cross C.S.S. for periods 1 - 3, which take place from 8:35am - 1:05pm. Ice times will then take place from 2:00pm - 3:30pm at Miskin Law Arena. On certain days, students will have off-ice at Hybrid Sports, following the practice time.

Once the season ends, the players will continue to have either on or off ice sessions to best maintain their performance and be provided a structure to have a successful summer.

All CHE Academy students will register through the Holy Cross C.S.S. registration page and will need to provide necessary information to attend a PVNCCDSB school. Students will have a meeting at the start of the season to determine academic goals and establish individual expectations that align with prior level of academic achievements. To fully participate in Academy games, students must maintain their individual academic goals.

A CHE-appointed Academic Advisor will work directly with students and act as a liaison between students, parents and guardians, and Holy Cross C.S.S. The Academic Advisor will support students to fully achieve individual academic goals.

For the inaugural season, CHE Academy will participate as an Independent team, fully sanctioned to complete against other U18 Academies, and AAA level teams. The flexibility will allow the team to find the best level of competition both in Canada and United States.

For the 2026-2027 season, the U18 CHE Academy team will participate at the AAA level. For the 2026-27 season, eligible players will be born in 2009 & 2010.

CHE Academy will follow a typical academic calendar, with programming beginning in September, and concluding in June. All games will take place during the Hockey Canada calendar from September to March, with regular practices and training to still take place in the spring months once the season concludes.

CHE Academy students can expect 5.5 hours of weekly on-ice training. Training periods will take place from Monday - Thursday, with Friday and weekend dates reserved for games.

CHE Academy students will be held to a clear code of conduct that outlines all expectations for participation in the Academy. All billet families will be thoroughly screened prior to placement, and parents will be provided regular updates as needed.

Yes, we welcome international students and can provide assistance with student visa applications if necessary.
