Westshore Hockey Academy - Higher Learning Through Hockey! For Grades 7 and up

Spencer Middle School and Belmont High School have teamed up to offer a hockey program for their students. By offering an elite hockey program to regular hockey players, students are not required to have a high level of expertise to be accepted into the program.

By blending hockey with the school curriculum we hope to increase students’ eagerness and zest for education. This enthusiasm for school will help to enhance their overall academic performance and in turn increase the number of students moving on to post secondary education

Everybody Wins

Sports skill academies (real ones) are a positive addition to a school. They bring in high achieving clientele, enhance a positive school climate, provide positive press coverage and promote school achievement
