From Thursday, January 9^th聽to Sunday, January 12^th, CCM Hockey hosted its聽Hockey House聽experience at Lower Canada College. In its third edition, Hockey House is one of the company鈥檚 biggest marketing events of the year. When CCM announced they would return to the company鈥檚 home base of Montreal to host this year鈥檚 event (last year鈥檚 was in its American hub of Boston), location scouting began immediately. An intensive search led them to Lower Canada College, and the school, who鈥檚 Varsity team play in the CSSHL鈥檚 U17 East division, was eventually selected for its facilities – particularly its NHL standard outdoor Miller Rink – to host all Hockey House activities.

LCC鈥檚 Chamandy Arena was transformed into a multidimension venue, which included artificial ice surfaces, where聽Sense Arena聽hooked up visitors to its VR goalie and slot shooting training drills; newly developed CCM hockey training equipment, including an interactive stick handling mat and goalie reaction board; a presentation room, where CCM representatives demonstrated its new gear customization technology, and explained the biomechanics of its new gloves and聽Vizion聽stick line; a spray tattoo station, where visitors could get a tattoo of Auston Matthews鈥檚 silhouette or the company鈥檚 logo; a boutique for the event鈥檚 apparel sponsor DISHIN庐; a Tim Hortons truck that served coffee and hot chocolates throughout the whole weekend; and of course, on the outdoor rink, games and free skates would take place all weekend long.

On Thursday night, festivities began with an influencer pickup game, that featured some of hockey鈥檚 most prominent figures on social media platforms, like Pavel Barber,聽danglerking, Overtime Meghan, and Logan Gauthier. During the daytime on Friday, LCC students got a tour of the House and partook in the activities it had to offer.聽 Saturday and Sunday involved visits from the Concordia Stingers Hockey teams, as well as youth teams from around Canada and the USA. Throughout these days, players from LCC鈥檚 U17 East team volunteered in multiple capacities; tying skates, transporting equipment, or securing checkpoints during tours.

Not only was the event a success a massive for CCM, but LCC was proud to open its doors and allow the hockey world a glimpse into its facilities and capabilities of managing events of this magnitude. The weekend also uplifted the hockey spirit on campus, and in the events closing hours, LCC鈥檚 U17 East team played Mount Academy, where they won 12-1.

  • Finally, our hockey student athletes participate in mandatory team study hall sessions before late practices or on road trips.

The Grade Coordinators will connect with students struggling in any of their classes and monitor their progress until sufficient improvement has been made.

SCHEDULE

• What does the daily schedule look like for a student athlete in your program?
  • All hockey activities take place either before or after the school day. Students attend five periods from 9:20 AM – 3:55 PM. Outside of these hours, our hockey student athletes may have a practice, workout, video session or study hall. Typically, each team will have a balance of 2-3 practices per week, 1-2 workouts, 2 games, and a full rest day. Weekends are prioritized for games to reduce as much absence from class as possible.
• How many games can your teams expect to play?
  • We anticipate a schedule of 40-50 games for our Varsity team
• What does the on and off ice training look like?
  • The focus of our on-ice and off-ice training sessions varies throughout different points in the season.
    • Fall on-ice practices focus on skill development, teaching good hockey habits to carry into the season, and performing at a high pace and in pressure situations. Off-ice training focuses on strength building and adapting the muscles for hockey specific movements.
    • As the season progresses, more team tactics and strategies are introduced in practices. Off-ice training switches to emphasize maintenance of muscular build and cardiovascular fitness.
    • All teams compete in playoffs and hold tryouts for the following season in the spring. Teams do not meet for on-ice sessions during the summer; however, each student athlete is given a strength & conditioning program to follow in order to prepare for the next season.
• How long does your program run?
  • Our Varsity team will begin practicing in September and finish the season with tryouts for the next season in May. Our other teams run from November to May. If a player not on the Varsity team selects not to participate on a fall sports team, they may attend fall hockey practices and skill development sessions.
