    MISSION STATEMENT TO CREATE AN ENVIRONMENT THAT GIVES EVERY STUDENT- ATHLETE THE BEST POSSIBLE OPPORTUNITY TO ACHIEVE AND SURPASS INDIVIDUAL POTENTIAL THROUGH STRUCTURE, SUPPORT, KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERIENCE. MESSAGE FROM DIXON WARD VICE PRESIDENT At the Okanagan Hockey Academy our primary focus is to promote the long-term development of each of our athletes in the classroom, on the ice, and in the community. Putting young, motivated people in a structured environment, surrounded by a world class staff and support system, allows us to deliver a consistent message and value system that we feel is imperative to the long term development of our students. We believe that elite athletes need to be challenged, yet supported, in all aspects of their lives. We hold our student-athletes accountable on their efforts, attention to details, and above all their attitudes. We have learned through experience that those three key ingredients are keys to future success. OHA is built on experience, knowledge, passion for our game, and above all, OHA is built on each individual’s mark left behind as they move on to achieve their goals. The commitment to excellence in all areas is what makes the Okanagan Hockey Academy a tremendous opportunity for any young and aspiring hockey player. HUMAN PERFORMANCE The Okanagan Hockey Human Performance Program is designed to provide a singular outcome/ goal for all parts of the program. THE MODEL FOCUSES ON THESE KEY COMPONENTS: • Academics • Strength, Conditioning, Medical • Hockey • Character, Leadership, Community We want to take each of these components and separate them as individual program units that are concentrated on increasing Human Performance with each of our student-athletes.

  • Report to the Community 2019-2020 Bell Mts Iceplex
    REPORT TO THE COMMUNITY 2019-2020 BELL MTS ICEPLEX In the midst of an unusual season at Bell MTS Iceplex, it is important to look back at the year that was. The 2019-20 season was unlike any other with the hockey world coming to a complete standstill on March 12, 2020. Though the pandemic abruptly ended the season for many teams, the Iceplex doesn’t measure success by playoff and end of season results. Our focus remains on development, teamwork, self-confidence and on fostering long-lasting friendships, both on and off the ice. We’re happy that Bell MTS Iceplex has played a role in developing the many players who have walked through our doors during the season. We remain grateful to our community for their diligence, which allowed the Iceplex to reopen at the start of June, and for their loyalty in returning to our facility when it was safe to do so. Our priority remains providing a safe venue for hockey and a superior guest experience. This year, that has meant rethinking all aspects of visiting our facility and implementing enhanced cleaning and distancing measures. Along with the dedication of our Jets Hockey Development coaches to providing quality programming, a shared commitment to safety from our guests and our program and operations team led to the busiest summer since the Iceplex opened in 2010. We look forward to the upcoming season and to seeing hockey excel amid a new normal. This season will bring new challenges, but the sport will still provide the same skill and character development opportunities as well as memories that will last a lifetime.
