Frequently Asked Questions
Our programs serve youth hockey players ages 5 through 15, organized by HEO age divisions (U7, U9, U11, U13, U15). Each group receives age-appropriate instruction tailored to their development stage.
Sessions are held at various arenas throughout the Ottawa Valley, including Carleton Place, Almonte, Arnprior, Perth, Smiths Falls, and surrounding communities. Locations vary by program and season.
No prior hockey experience is required. Our youngest programs (U7) focus on building skating confidence and fundamentals from the ground up. More advanced groups build on existing skills with progressive training.
Station-based training divides the ice into focused skill stations where small groups rotate through drills. This maximizes ice time, ensures individualized coaching feedback, and keeps players engaged throughout the session.
We offer programs year-round including spring sessions, summer hockey camps, March Break clinics, and winter break training. Check our season tabs above for current dates and availability.
