ℹ️ About Hockey Academies
Hockey academies in Manitoba offer a specialized environment where elite-level hockey training is integrated with academic education. These programs fall into several categories:
- CSSHL / Prep Academies: Full-time, intensive programs (like RHA) that often involve daily training and high-level competition across Western Canada.
- Public School HCSAs: Integrated into local high schools, allowing students to earn academic credit while receiving on-ice skills instruction during the school day.
- Development Institutes: Facilities that offer academy-style training (like Jets Hockey Development) but may not be directly linked to a specific school.
