• What are some of the things your program does to provide educational support?
  • The RINK School Liaison is the first point of contact for school education and behavior concerns for RINK students, for George Elliot Secondary School (GESS) & Grenda Middle School (GMS) teachers, and RINK Parents. The GESS/GMS Counsellor is first point of contact for RINK. The counsellor will guide course selections and school credits for student athletes and will assist students/parents to source tutors as needed.
• How are grades monitored and how often?
  • Parent/Teacher interviews are conducted through by the current teacher four times a year. RINK School Liaison is in touch with all teachers at the start of each term (8 terms) every five weeks. If a student falls behind or is struggling, the teacher will contact the RINK School Liaison. Schools issue Report Cards four times in the school year. The RINK School Liaison receives a record of all students鈥� marks. Grades at RHA Kelowna are monitored by teachers and information is relayed to our School Liaison. Any concerns with grade percentage, missed assignments or testing are reviewed with our coaches and in turn players are communicated with and appropriate direction is decided upon. All players must retain a 70% grade average/developing to maintain participation in all hockey activities. Parents can also check at any time with their son or daughter鈥檚 teachers on grades or progress.

  • The RHA Kelowna billet coordinator works very closely with our out-of-town players, families, billet families and RINK Kelowna staff to foster a good understanding and transition into the billet home. This transition involves a criminal record check, reference checks, home visit and inspection, player information profile and communication between the incoming family and billet family before the beginning of the year. Throughout the year our billet coordinator will do regular monthly checks with the billeted players and the billet family to insure smooth transition and ongoing success of the billeting program. Semi-annual interviews are conducted to gather information and review the effectiveness of the billet family and the billeting program. Exit interviews are done for retention of effective billet families and gathering information for effective placements and improvements for the following year.

STUDENT ATHLETE HEALTH

• How are injuries and sick student athletes monitored?
  • If an athlete becomes sick or encounters an injury the staff and billet families work together to nurse the player back to health. In the event of illness, the billet family will look after the player until they are ready to return to regular activities. This will include doctor鈥檚 appointments, getting prescriptions and any other needs to reach recovery. The billet family keeps our billet coordinator and coaches informed of the athlete鈥檚 progress to recovery. If the illness is considered severe a doctor鈥檚 note maybe required before the athlete can return to regular training and game play.
  • When a player receives an injury, it is assessed by our athletic therapist. They will determine a back to play regimen.

RESIDENTIAL LIFE听

HOME AWAY FROM HOME

It is recognized that some youth athletes do leave home to play hockey in a location away from their parents/guardians.

CIHA is committed to supporting these athletes and their families through this process.听 Regular communication with the athlete, athlete鈥檚 family, coaching staff and billet coordinator will help develop a strong and open bond between all involved to cultivate a respectful environment for the athlete to have the best start in finding success.

EDUCATION

LOCATION AND YEAR THE PROGRAM ENTERED THE CSSHL
OHA is based in Penticton, BC and joined the CSSHL in 2009.

EDUCATION

• Partner School
  • Penticton Secondary School
• What are some of the things your program does to provide educational support?
  • Pen High has implemented a schedule that allows our student-athletes to attend school from 8:30 am to
    1:00 pm without missing core classes for practice or training. A weekly mandatory study hall provides
    our student-athletes with an opportunity to have one-on-one instruction with our Academic Advisors
    and help manage their workload.
• How are grades monitored and how often?
  • Grades are monitored, at a minimum weekly, in our study halls. Teachers communicate with our study hall teachers and David Nackoney (OHA Academic Advisor) if they have concerns. Coaches are part of the academic team approach to supporting our student-athletes. We also complete a quarterly update of all teams.
• How are courses and the graduation path for student athletes chosen?
  • Our Academic Advisor, Dave Nackoney, works diligently at helping our students navigate through SATs, ACT鈥檚, NCAA Clearinghouse, and USPORT requirements ensuring that all options are available for our students when they are ready to attend a post-secondary institution.
• Do you have an academic probation policy?
  • Academic probation is a case-by-case situation. We work on being proactive and use academic probation as a last resort. Students are given opportunities to catch up on their work if they are falling behind in study halls. If a situation arises that a student is not keeping up on work, they will be assigned extra study halls until their work is completed. In cases of academic misconduct, games may be taken away from student-athletes. Students, coaches, management, parents, and teachers are all involved in the academic process.

RESIDENTIAL LIFE

• Do you offer a billeting program or a dormitory for non-local student athletes?
  • Our athletes who need room and board are billeted among a great group of local families. Our billets provide a safe and supportive environment that our student-athletes can call home. We have had great success through our billeting program and feel that it has been an integral part of the growth of our Academy. We have a designated Coordinator of Residential Life who facilitates the process and ensures that our students are placed in a home they will be comfortable with. This process includes an extensive screening process that ensures the family and student-athlete are the right fit for each other. Each potential billet family goes through a wide-ranging interview and reference check. The student is also asked a series of questions such as if they are okay living with children, pets, etc. This process ensures the student and his or her new billet family will be comfortable with one another.
• What kind of life skills to the student athletes learn by living in the dorms or with billets?
  • Okanagan Hockey strives to make our student-athletes feel right at home while developing their emotional intelligence. Our student-athletes will develop key life skills by living away from home, such as time management skills, cooking and laundry, self-advocacy, relationship skills, appreciation of new cultures, and controlled independence.

STUDENT ATHLETE HEALTH

• How are injuries and sick student athletes monitored?
  • We have full-time Certified Athletic Therapists staffed daily in our state-of-the-art facilities for injury assessment, rehabilitation, and coverage during training and games. We have a team physician who comes to the academy weekly and is booked by appointment through an athletic therapist. Student- athlete monitoring is typically completed with daily check-ins but can differ depending on the injury or illness.
  • Parent communication will take place for student-athletes who are injured for any extended period, including updates on their progress or changes in their injury status. Parent communication will also take place when any sort of physician contact occurs, such as general check-ups, walk-in clinics, or emergency room visits. This is especially helpful for families that are not in town so that they can be kept up to date on each step of the injury or illness recovery process.

SCHEDULE

• What days the daily schedule look like for a student athlete in your program?
  • Our student-athletes attend classes from 8:30 am to 1:00 pm. In the afternoon they have an on-ice session, which could be a full team practice, individual skill development, etc., and they also have an off- ice session in our gym or state-of-the art performance centre. Our student-athletes complete all activities by 4:30-5 pm and then are picked up or transported home.
• How many games can your teams expect to play?
  • Our teams play 40-50 games a season, which includes the CSSHL regular season and Championships, exhibition games, and tournaments.
• What does the on and off ice training look like?
  • Our student-athletes take part in daily purposeful on-ice training. Practices are designed with individual skill development in mind, through tactical and technical teaching. The Okanagan Hockey Academy Performance Centre is a state-of-the-art training facility designed after top NCAA and NHL programs. We have professional off-ice training staff, and supplement core strength training, explosive speed training, mobility as well as nutrition guidance. We strongly believe that physical preparation is the key to long-term hockey development. Our philosophy is to provide our student-athletes with the tools needed to execute and perform at the highest level possible.
