OUR MISSION

The Victoria Royals and Hockey Academy Canada offer decades of experience and a tradition of success in terms of on and off-ice player development.

The Victoria Royals and Hockey Academy Canada are committed to offering each participant the best opportunity for hockey development on Vancouver Island. It is our goal to foster quality programming by replicating scheduling and training to that of a National Hockey League environment. We aspire for all players to have a positive experience, boosting their confidence and bettering their understanding of the necessary mindset and skills for a career as a hockey player.

  • Access to a database of player skill statistics to understand where a player matches to his peers both in Canada and internationally.
  • Video coaching and mentorship on specific players habits, strengths and areas for improvements.
  • Fostering personalized relationships and recognizing each player being at a unique spot in their personal development.
  • Instructional philosophy is a multi-pillared approach, designed to touch on all areas of high-performance development.
