Player Testimonial
“The leadership section of the ASI program was what I got the most out of. It has made me a better leader, teammate, classmate and better person in general. I enjoyed all the question that made me go deeper and think harder. It has made me a better writer and speaker and has expanded my vocabulary. It has taught me the importance of the little things and how they can make a difference. Overall it has pushed me outside of my comfort zone and made me more confident.”
Reading Program
- Over the course of 15 weeks, the ASI program will cover two books
- Students will be assigned weekly readings and asked to answer insightful questions to dive deeper into the topics mentioned
- This program will be accommodated for each student’s reading level
Reading Program Outcomes

- Students will extend awareness of themes; e.g., athlete burnout, and discover the possibilities of being a proactive person
- Students will follow a given plan of inquiry to form generalizations and conclusions about “things we do and do not control” about school and hockey
Player Testimonial
“I enjoyed the reading program and wouldn’t change anything. My school teacher was so impressed with the level of reading I was doing as part of the course. My reading has improved because of the more challenging words I was reading, and I had to think about the content and message both books gave me.”

- Through this project, the students will be encouraged to help raise funds to support their tuition for ASI or better their community by giving their time

- Students will apply a business plan outline to develop strategies to execute your future business
- Students will design a plan for generating demand for their product or service using marketing techniques, e.g. the rifle approach
Player Testimonial
“The passion project was, I think the most challenging aspect of the program for me because it involved talking to a lot of new people and getting outside of my comfort zone. It has made me more confident, and more aware of my community and the different things it is built upon.”

- Students will increase their spatial awareness with the puck in small spaces while keeping their head up.
Player Testimonials
“The Hockey Skill Development was a significant part of the program, although I wish I had spent more time on it. It has improved my skills. My stickhandling is much smoother and faster, and I am overall more comfortable with the puck. My shot is harder and more accurate than before. Also, I am now comfortable doing more than simply my wrist shot on the ice. My feet are faster, and that shows in my skating!”
