Athletics Hockey Skill Academy

Skill Academy

Our Hockey Skill Academy is an exciting skill development program open to both boys and girls from Grades 5 through 12. On average, students are on the ice three times a week developing their hockey skills. Under the guidance of professional coaches and a goal-tending instructor, they work on skating techniques, puck control, shooting, defensive play and creativity.

The SKILL ACADEMY will consist of:

    • 3 on-ice training sessions per week (approx. 6hrs/week)
    • 2 Dry-land hockey-specific Strength and Conditioning sessions at the Duckett Performance Centre per week
    • Concurrently, Senior High student-athletes will be working towards attaining their high school diploma in our University preparatory program
    • Full access to on-site health services

In-house HEALTH SERVICES* include:

    • Sport counselling with renowned mental training coach Dr. Matt Brown
    • Sport therapy and physiotherapy services
    • Nutrition counselling and in-house nutritional options- to reinforce the nutritional principles taught in high performance training

*at an additional cost

Edge is committed to the purposeful integration of excellence in academics, athletics and character-building. At the end of each term, students are evaluated for their on-ice skills, effort and practice habits. They are assessed using appropriate skills standard and testing programs and scouted for participation in Edge’s Hockey Team Program.

It has been a big year for the Edge’s male Bantam team and several players have been rewarded by being chosen to represent Calgary at the ATB Alberta Cup in Strathmore, April 25 to 28.

"This is a big year for the Bantam kids because of the (WHL) draft. Getting to play for your region is always an exciting opportunity to tryout, and then to make the team is pretty cool," said Ross McCain, coach of the Edge Midget AA Gold Bantam team. "It is a big-time confidence boost anytime you get picked for a team from a group of elite players in your region."

Six players from the new Bantam team at the Edge and two from the individual skills program were chosen to compete against zone teams from across the province. Invitees from the Edge bantam team are: Calgary North - Brodan Salmond, Jake Bean, Tristan Crozier, Jacob Elmer; Calgary South - Cody Campbell and Austin Leduc. McCain said the players are true ambassadors for the school.
