Frequently asked questions

Decisions of this magnitude should never be taken lightly. For that matter we welcome your questions in order to provide with as much information possible so that you can make the best informed decision for your son.

For a more in-depth discussion, please reach out and schedule a call with one of our team members as we welcome the opportunity to discuss our program in greater detail.

Do students billet?

No. Our students reside in our dorm facility along with our Resident Advisors and Director of Student Life.

Is the education component online?

No. We offer in class learning with a small student to teacher ratio that allows better retention and comprehension. Students are also able to take honors and AP classes in preparation for college.

Do players have to tryout for the team?

No. Our development model is designed around a personalized plan tailored to each player. We are on the ice roughly 5 days a week for 9 months so we believe the player you are on day one, won't be the player you'll be at season's end.

How long is the school year?

Our school year begins in the month of August and concludes the following May.

PROVIDING THE RIGHT STRUCTURE

A Balanced Approach to Development.

Similar to NCAA institutions, our academics, athletics, and strength training all take place throughout the morning and afternoon hours. This frees up valuable time for studying, rest, recuperation, and the ability to enjoy time spent with friends.

It takes a special person to want to skate, train and focus on academics each and everyday. Our goal is to seek out those individuals who possess the desire to improve their hockey skills, and while keeping their eye on their academic goals. It’s hard work and takes dedication, but if you feel like you can truly benefit from what we offer then we’d welcome the opportunity to chat with you.

Let us introduce you to our Program and provide some insight into what we do for our student-athletes. This is a great way to learn if our program is a good fit for you, and address questions regarding our academic, athletics and student life programs.

STEP 2

Many of our perspective students schedule a trip to South Lake Tahoe to see our dorms, rink and academic facilities. This allows both parent and student to get a feel for what life may be like in the event they attend the Academy.

STEP 3

What better way to experience the program than to immerse yourself in our day to day activities. Participants are able to train for a day with our coaching staff and get to know our methods, our approach and how we can assist in your son’s overall development.
