HOW IT WORKS

OTE Hockey Academy integrates elite hockey training into the school day, allowing student-athletes in Grades 8–12 to develop their skills while staying on track academically. The program combines focused on-ice training to improve skating, puck control, and decision-making with off-ice conditioning that builds strength, agility, and endurance. This balanced approach helps players reach their full potential both on and off the ice.

Enrollment & Eligibility

Enrollment is open to high school-aged student-athletes in Grades 8–12. Students should be enrolled in an SD22 area school (Kalamalka, Fulton, Seaton, or VSS) or have approved alternative arrangements.

Upon acceptance, students seamlessly integrate OTE training into their academic routine, allowing them to pursue elite-level hockey training while staying on track with their education.

Academic Integration & Block Scheduling

OTE operates within the local school district (SD22) in Vernon (British Columbia) and aligns with the AB and CD block schedules, alternating between morning and afternoon sessions throughout the semester.

During morning sessions, parents drop students off at 8:30 AM, and a bus returns them to their enrolled school for afternoon classes.
During afternoon sessions, students are transported from their school to the arena, with parents picking them up at 3:00 PM.

This integration allows student-athletes to train at an elite level without disrupting their academic commitments.
