CHE Academy is proud to be the newest member of the CSSHL, competing in the Eastern Division. All programs within the CSSHL are sanctioned Hockey Canada Accredited Schools, Schools with Residence, or Sanctioned by USA Hockey meeting the regulations of not only their National member, but their respective provincial, state or regional members. The objective of the league is to provide a competitive environment for young student athletes that share similar values of Sportsmanship, Citizenship, Academic Excellence and Hockey Development.
Throughout a typical season, players can expect to participate in roughly 24 CSSHL games through regular season and showcase events, as well as participation in 4-6 tournaments, and exhibition play against other Eastern Academies and U18 AAA opponents. This results in a season with 40-45 games minimum, with the focus on competing against similarly structured programs, and high-end talent, to provide the best opportunity for growth and even gameplay.
Training is scheduled for weekday afternoons to ensure focused, consistent development on the ice. The afternoon training allows the player to maximize their evenings, whether that means additional focus on recovery, academics, or spending time with friends and family. Games are predominantly held on weekends (Friday through Sunday), allowing student-athletes to prioritize academics during the week and ensuring adequate recovery time to support peak performance.
Practices will take place at the brand new Miskin Law Community Complex, where CHE Academy students will have access to an exclusive CHE Academy dressing room. Following the conclusion of the season, players will continue their training through structured on-ice sessions and performance testing. This approach equips athletes with the necessary tools and feedback to maintain progress and prepare effectively during the off-season.
