Hockey is more than just a game鈥攊t鈥檚 about discipline, teamwork, and character both on and off the ice. At the Calgary International Hockey Academy (CIHA), players train not only to compete at a high level but also to become leaders in their communities. This commitment to excellence extends beyond the rink, as CIHA encourages players to use their platform to make a difference in the lives of others.

One of the most impactful ways CIHA has lived out this mission is through its partnership with the Christmas Hamper program at Centre Street Church. What began as a small initiative over 15 years ago has grown into a vital program that supports hundreds of families and individuals facing hardship each holiday season. With a shared passion for giving back, CIHA players, coaches, and families embraced the opportunity to serve, providing not only Christmas hampers but also meaningful connections and moments of hope.

The Christmas Hamper program at Centre Street Church became heartfelt response to the struggles faced by families and individuals experiencing hardship, poverty, or homelessness. Recognizing the deep needs within both the congregation and the broader community, the church sought to extend support, offering not just practical assistance but also a message of hope and compassion during the holiday season. What started as a way to care for those facing difficult times has since grown into a cherished initiative, bringing people together to share generosity and kindness each Christmas.

The Christmas Hamper program is primarily facilitated through Centre Street Church鈥檚 ministry, now known as The Centre for the City. This initiative focuses on supporting new Canadians, refugees, individuals experiencing poverty, and those facing homelessness. The recent expansion of Centre Street Church鈥檚 central campus has provided much-needed space to better serve and support those in need. In addition to being a distribution site for the Calgary Food Bank, The Centre for the City collaborates with various agencies across Calgary, assisting them in providing Christmas hampers to their clients. Through these partnerships, the program continues to extend its reach, ensuring that more individuals and families receive essential support during the holiday season.

As a former leader of the Christmas Hamper program, Wayne Smele, CIHA鈥檚 volunteer Champlain, shared that organizing and distributing 500 hampers is a complex and time-intensive process. Planning typically begins in late September or early October, involving coordination with key partners such as the Calgary Food Bank and various community agencies across the city. These organizations help collect requests from families and individuals in need, allowing the team to formulate a structured plan. Once the groundwork is in place, outreach efforts extend to the congregation and the broader community, encouraging volunteers and donors to contribute their time, resources, and support. The process requires extensive logistical coordination, but the collective effort ensures that hundreds of families receive much-needed assistance and a message of hope during the holiday season.

The partnership with CIHA began through the generosity of Jay and Ashley Beagle, who wanted to continue a tradition Jay had established during his time as an NHL player. His deep care for others, along with a strong desire to give back and demonstrate to young athletes the importance of using their influence for good, was the driving force behind this initiative. 鈥淪erving alongside Jay Beagle has been a highlight for me, as he was one of my kids in the youth group 25 years ago,鈥 shared Smele. 鈥淪erving and working alongside him in his role again brings me much joy and contentment and we meet the needs of others.鈥 This vision, combined with a natural connection through a former ministry director at Centre Street Church, made the collaboration a seamless opportunity.

The program officially launched in 2023, with CIHA stepping in to provide crucial support in its first year. Their involvement helped ensure that families who had missed registration deadlines and were at risk of not receiving a Christmas hamper were still able to receive assistance, reinforcing the program鈥檚 mission to serve those in need during the holiday season. 鈥淭he CIHA leadership, parents and players all contributed to help meet the needs of the people last year,鈥 explained Smele. 鈥淚t was a highlight watching the players serve, learn and grow in their compassion and awareness of others less fortunate and how they can make a difference.鈥

It is estimated that over 500 families and individuals received support through the 2024 Christmas Hamper program. In addition to this, more than 1,000 people were provided with a warm Christmas meal, ensuring that even those facing hardship could experience the joy and generosity of the holiday season. This initiative not only met practical needs but also fostered a sense of community and connection, embodying the spirit of giving and compassion.

The impact of the Christmas Hamper program has been profound, extending far beyond the recipients themselves. While the hampers provide essential support to families and individuals in need, the experience also leaves a lasting impression on those who contribute鈥攚hether by purchasing, assembling, or delivering the hampers. 鈥淛ust this year, my group delivered a hamper to a family, where the parents had just come out of rehab and we鈥檙e starting their life clean and sober,鈥 said Smele. 鈥淪howing up with more than was asked for move them to a emotion and gratefulness and getting to see them again on one of the Christmas meals with their children.鈥 Volunteers and donors often express a deep sense of fulfillment, connection, and gratitude as they witness firsthand the joy and relief their efforts bring to others. This initiative not only meets practical needs but also strengthens the spirit of generosity and community, inspiring people to continue giving and supporting others long after the holiday season has ended.

The influence made by CIHA this 2024 Christmas Hamper season was significant. Players took on an active role in both shopping for and delivering the hampers, allowing them to directly engage with individuals and families in need. These weren鈥檛 just those experiencing homelessness or financial hardship, but also new Canadians, individuals facing addiction, and those in recovery. From conversations with leadership, it was clear that the program left a lasting impression. Recipients expressed their gratitude, sharing how meaningful it was to have a team of hockey players personally deliver their Christmas hamper. For many families, especially those with children, this unexpected visit brought excitement and a sense of being truly cared for during the holiday season.

There are several ways for people to get involved in the Christmas Hamper program. Starting in early fall, individuals and families can sign up through The Centre for the City at Centre Street Church. By late November, participants are matched with a family in need, and in December, they have the opportunity to personally connect with the recipients, shop for their specific needs, and deliver the hamper directly to them. For those unable to participate in shopping and delivery, financial contributions are another meaningful way to make a difference. Donations can be made through Centre Street Church or the Calgary Food Bank, helping to ensure that even more families receive support during the holiday season. Every act of generosity, whether through time, resources, or financial gifts, plays a vital role in bringing hope and joy to those in need.

鈥淚t鈥檚 a deep personal connection for me seeing community and the church come together,鈥 shared Smele. 鈥淏eing the CIHA volunteer chaplain has enriched my life and purpose, being trusted and accepted by the players and coaches, has in part provided this offer opportunity for CIHA to contribute to numerous communities the past 2 years, and I love being a part of it.鈥

The 麻豆传媒入口 (CSSHL) is excited to announce the three winners of the Coach of the Month Award for February: Derek Bachynski, Larry Bumstead, and Tyson Soloski.听

For the 2024/25 season the CSSHL is proud to introduce the Coach of the Month Award for the three different CSSHL divisions: Eastern, West Female, and West Male.

This award is aimed at recognizing the incredible coaches within the CSSHL and acknowledges their hard work, dedication, commitment, leadership and impact on the game both on and off the ice.

We would like to congratulate these three coaches, who were all nominated by their programs, for their hard work in the month of February.

East Division – Derek Bachynski, Fort Erie International Academy

“As the U18 FEIA Head Coach, Derek has demonstrated an incredible work ethic, professionalism, and commitment to player development, making a significant impact on our program.

Since I took over as U17 Head Coach in mid-December, Derek has been instrumental in guiding me through the transition. He has gone out of his way to offer support, making the process much smoother. He works tirelessly鈥攑reparing for games and practices like a professional, dedicating hours to video analysis, and ensuring that his players are held accountable. He even goes the extra mile by driving the team bus when needed, showing his commitment to the team in every possible way.

His leadership and preparation have paid off, as his team has improved significantly and is now an extremely competitive group. The culture he has built is evident both on and off the ice, and his dedication has been a key factor in their success. It has truly been a pleasure working alongside him, and I believe he is more than deserving of this recognition.”

West Female Division – Larry Bumstead, St. Mary’s Academy

Nominated by Sarah Zacharias, Balmoral Hall School

“Larry has been at the helm of the program since day one in 2011. Larry has helped guide the programs success over the past decade and assisted in over 60 players realizing their dreams of playing collegiate level hockey. Bummer is a father of 3, both of his girls having been through his program and have gone on to do remarkable things of their own in the hockey world. Bummer has been a pillar for the growth and development of female hockey in the province of Manitoba for many years, leading the Girls of the North program through his work with True North.”

West Male Division – Tyson Soloski, Calgary International Hockey Academy

“Coach Tyson has exemplified unparalleled dedication and leadership, meticulously preparing his team for success long before the season begins. Throughout the summer, he commits himself to strategic planning, ensuring every aspect of the team’s development is accounted for. He spends countless hours analyzing game footage, conducting thorough pre-scouts, and refining game plans, leaving no stone unturned in his pursuit of a competitive advantage. His attention to detail and deep understanding of the game set the foundation for his team鈥檚 success, giving them an edge before they even step on the ice.

Beyond the X鈥檚 and O鈥檚, Coach Tyson is deeply invested in his players鈥 growth, both as athletes and as individuals. He fosters strong relationships by meeting regularly with each player, providing personalized feedback, and offering unwavering support in their on-ice development. His coaching philosophy balances high expectations with genuine care, pushing his players to strive for excellence while ensuring they feel valued and supported. He doesn鈥檛 just coach hockey鈥攈e mentors, inspires, and cultivates a winning mindset that will benefit his players far beyond the rink.

His leadership extends far beyond the game itself. On road trips, he takes extra measures to create a positive and engaging team culture, organizing innovative team-building activities that strengthen camaraderie and morale. Whether it鈥檚 leading a group challenge, sharing motivational insights, or simply ensuring every player feels included, he is always actively involved in fostering a fun and cohesive environment. His ability to bring players together, build unity, and create a culture of accountability and respect is second to none.

Coach Tyson鈥檚 passion for the game is contagious. His energy and enthusiasm never waver, and his players feed off his commitment and belief in them. He is the first to celebrate their successes and the first to lift them up after a tough loss, always reinforcing the values of perseverance, resilience, and teamwork. His impact is felt not only in wins and losses but in the confidence, character, and work ethic he instills in his team.

Coach Tyson鈥檚 unwavering commitment, tireless work ethic, and relentless pursuit of excellence make him a truly exceptional leader. He embodies what it means to be a great coach鈥攄emanding yet compassionate, strategic yet personable, and above all, dedicated to the success and well-being of his players. For his remarkable leadership and the profound influence he has on his team, he is undoubtedly deserving of the Coaches Award.”

Located in Calgary, AB, Calgary International Hockey Academy (CIHA) re-branded ahead of the 2023/24 season, leading to their U17 Prep team capturing the programs first ever 麻豆传媒入口 (CSSHL) Western Championship.

LIST OF CSSHL TEAMS听

  • U17 Prep
  • U18 Prep

OUR PHILOSOPHY

At our hockey academy, we believe that the pursuit of excellence in sport can serve as a foundation for personal growth and development. Our philosophy is rooted in the belief that hockey is not just a game, but a way of life that requires dedication, discipline, and a commitment to hard work.

EARNED, NOT GIVEN.听

LOCATION

CIHA is located in the world renowned听Winsport Facility at听Canada Olympic Park. Winsport is located in the Northwest Quadrant of Calgary where you can take in the stunning view of the city skyline to the east and the Rocky Mountains to the west.

The facility offers one Olympic Size Ice surface and three NHL size ice surfaces, along with a state-of-the-art Performance Training Center and Team Canada Gym.听 Physical and Mental Health are a primary focus for our athletes here at CIHA.听 Within the Winsport facility you can find听Group 23 Sports Medicine,听who are dedicated to providing an exceptional level of care that helps overcome the physical challenges from injury in sport or activity.听Benson Concussion Institute听which is an innovative, physician led multidisciplinary high performance sport concussion program. Each of our teams is staffed with a professional Athletic Therapist who will attend all team practices and games.听 The Athletic Therapist will refer athletes to the above-mentioned medical services as necessary.听 When an athlete is unwell or injured there is constant communication between the Athlete, Athlete鈥檚 Family, Coaching Staff, Medical Professionals and the Athletic Therapist.听 This process has proven to support the quickest path to recovery.

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. In these circumstances, CIHA will arrange for the athlete to live with a host or billet family. The development of an athlete starts at home. 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

At the National Sport School, we provide a supportive learning environment to enable developing high-performance athletes to mature as self-directed, life-long learners while pursuing excellence in sport.

No other school in Canada exists on a campus quite like ours at WinSport. We offer and maintain high-performance facilities where the world鈥檚 best come to train and compete. The location at WinSport鈥檚 Canada Olympic Park offers a unique duality: premiere training facilities collaborating with an onsite esteemed school.

CIHA is proud of our athlete鈥檚 dedication in managing a balance of sport and academics.听 To help support this CIHA offers each of our athletes a regular monthly (or more often if deemed necessary) meeting with our Academic Partner Liaison.听Academics are a top priority and a level of success is individually set and supported through regular contact and monitoring. In collaboration with NSS and our Academic Partner Liaison the student鈥檚 path to graduation is developed and set into motion with course selection and accommodations to complete these courses.听Study hall is held during all out-of-town travel along with regular support during the weeks at home.
