WHY OKANAGAN HOCKEY ACADEMY EUROPE?

The most important aspect of the Okanagan Hockey Academy Europe program is the positive personal growth of each individual player. We are developing successful people not just successful hockey players.



Below are some of the major benefits of the Okanagan Hockey Academy Europe:

located right at the heart of Ice Hockey in Central Europe - surrounded by Switzerland, Germany, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary and Slovenia
an opportunity to live on a beautiful campus in the city in St. Poelten near Vienna, Austria
the experience of living in a new cultural environment in Europe, developing communication skills and the confidence to interact with new people
attending Lower Austria International School
a school that holds its student athletes responsible for Academic Excellence leading to an International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma which provides access to universities and colleges worldwide
specialized on and off ice training
exposure to teams in Austria, Czech Republic, Switzerland and Germany
preparation for a potential Hockey Career in Junior A, Major Junior, College and Pro Leagues
a program that will develop a player's character as much as their hockey skills
an all-round life experience that will benefit the student as an academic, hockey player and person
a hockey program run by professionals with each individual player’s best interest at heart
the opportunity to progress ahead of players outside of the program
