For the 2024/25 season the CSSHL is proud to introduce the Student-Athlete of the Month Award for the four different CSSHL divisions/age brackets: Eastern, West Female, West U18 Male (U18 Prep, U17 Prep, U17) and West U15 Male (U15 Prep and U15) .

This award is aimed at recognizing the student-athletes within the CSSHL and acknowledges their hard work, dedication, commitment, leadership, academics and community impact.

We would like to congratulate these four student-athletes, who were all nominated by their programs, for their hard work in the month of October.

East Division – Gabriel Desantis, Stanstead College U17:

鈥淕abriel gives 110% at every turn. In science, he is a consistent worker and a true problem-solver- an example to the others in the class. I appreciate his calm, confident demeanour. Off ice, Gabriel is a prefect in Davis House. He is an excellent role-model for our younger students who watch and admire him.鈥�

“In September and October, Gabriel was a dominant force on the pitch with the Varsity Boys Soccer team. He started every game and almost never came off the field the entire season. He was a leader and instrumental to the team鈥檚 championship season. While playing soccer 5 days a week, Gabriel also practiced 2-3 times with the U17 hockey team. The squad achieved much success with an early record of 4-0 in league play thus far. Now that winter is upon us, Gabriel will be full time hockey. He is a highly respected student-athlete and deeply involved in all aspects of school life. A true spartan!”

West Female Division – Elle Lorenz, Edge School Female U18 Prep:

“Elle Lorenz has been a part of the Edge School since 2017 where she started in grade 5. She has established herself in our school community through her excellence in the classroom and in the gym, coupled with her friendly disposition as a leader not only in the dressing room but also throughout the school. Her devotion and passion to give back to the young students athletes in our school and community has been years in the making.聽 Elle has been awarded the certificate of recognition for inspiring future generations through her passion for gender equality in sports. Through her voice, she creates positive change and empowerment through her volunteer talks with different classes and modelling the way with self-advocacy. Elle is now in her grade 12 year continuing to give back through Hero’s Hockey and additional hockey camps.”

West Male U18 Division – Haydyn Brooks, Pacific Coast Hockey Academy U17 Prep:

“Haydyn is a dedicated, hard-working grade 12 student who’s really stepping up to do his part to create a more constructive, supportive learning environment, advocating for and thoroughly participating in his own education and that of his peers at the district and classroom level! Haydyn was recently selected to represent our school, QELE峁圫EN 脕, LE峁� Secondary, at the Trustees/ Student Forum for our district where he shared his insights and recommendations with District Trustees and Senior Administration.

On the ice, Haydyn is an Assistant Captain and is a key motivator and leader for the PCHA U17 Prep team.”

West Male U15 Division – Brody Lukinbill, STAR Hockey Academy U15:

“Brody Lukinbill is an excellent candidate for the Student Athlete of the Month Award. His hard work and positive attitude set a great example for younger students at his school. As a leader, he embodies the core values of STAR Hockey Academy, showing dedication both on the ice and in the classroom. Brody’s kindness and consideration toward teammates, coaches, opponents, and officials further highlight his sportsmanship. He truly represents the ideals of teamwork and respect, making him a deserving recipient of this award.”

PROGRAM PHILOSOPHY:

鈥淣urturing today鈥檚 student-athlete for tomorrow鈥檚 world.鈥�

With this in mind 鈥� each day our coaches, staff and educational team focus on supporting our student-athletes to achieve their dreams, both academically and athletically, by challenging them in a supportive and caring environment.

鈥淎s a staff we try to have a positive impact on each young man鈥檚 life and hope the character development and life lessons learned at PCHA will stay with them well beyond their career on the ice.鈥�

OVERVIEW:

Pacific Coast Hockey Academy is a formally recognized and officially sanctioned Hockey Canada Accredited School (HCAS) and was the first of its kind on Vancouver Island.

PCHA is a high-performance hockey academy that has combined an education-based hockey curriculum focused on individual skill development for today鈥檚 elite level player. Our program provides its students with exceptional coaching, training, and skill development, along with a highly competitive path as proud members of the CSSHL.

LOCATION:

Located on scenic Vancouver Island, PCHA calls Langford, British Columbia home. A suburb of Victoria, with its mild climate, breathtaking mountains, forest, beaches and ocean – the local surroundings provide an ideal backdrop for year-round outdoor training and activities. In fact, the City of Langford was just named the 鈥淢ost Livable鈥� place in Canada -topping the list of more than 150 Communities across the nation.

鈥淧CHA is very proud of our facilities and to call City Centre Park and the state-of-the-art Westhills Arena home.鈥� The City of Langford鈥檚 goal is to build a National sports capital and be the home of high-performance sports in Canada. As proud members of the prestigious 麻豆传媒入口 (CSSHL), PCHA works hard at combining academic and athletic success鈥� as 鈥渘ational leaders in education-based hockey鈥� on Vancouver Island.

PCHA uses the Eagle Ridge dry floor and weight room facilities for all their off-ice training and conditioning, and the Westhills Arena for all on-ice practices and home games. The PCHA Sea Devils have their own custom locker rooms and equipment storage with laundry facilities, boardroom for video review, meetings and seminars, as well as head offices all on site at the Westhills Arena.

HISTORY:

Pacific Coast Hockey Academy opened its doors in 2013 and became members of the CSSHL for the 2014-15 season

鈥淔rom our humble beginnings in 2013 as an independent Elite-15 team, to now operating five high-performance teams in the CSSHL (U15AAA, U15 Prep, U17AAA, U17 Prep, U18 Prep) 鈥� PCHA has built a program to support the needs of local high-performance student athletes, as well as the dozens of Out of Province and International students who have moved to Victoria to attend our academy over the years.鈥�

DEVELOPMENT MODEL:

PCHA is a 10-month education-based hockey program with a focus on individual skill development for the elite player. Our doors open following labour Day weekend in Sept and academy closes for exams at the end of the school year in June.

• Teams have daily on ice practices and skill development (5 days a week) as well as off-ice strength and conditioning for ten months. While many programs scale back in the spring, we continue with daily ice and workouts through till the end of the school year.
• There is consistency in development between our teams as we employ a full time Head of Player Development and skills coach who is on the ice with all three teams each day and works closely with our coaching staff.
• Each individual player completes a personalized Long Term Athlete Development Plan (LTADP) to identify strengths and weaknesses and focus on areas of improvement to meet their goals on and off the ice.

PCHA is also excited to have partnered with Power Edge Pro (PEP) 鈥� the proven leader in skill development. Used by over 100 of today鈥檚 top NHL players, Power Edge Pro is a superior training system that produces noticeable improvements in just a couple of sessions – no other development system in the world has graduated more players to the聽NHL.

• PCHA players have weekly PEP training sessions throughout the 10-month season.

EDUCATION:

PCHA has enjoyed a successful partnership with School District 62 (Sooke) for 11 years and has always strived to strengthen and build upon this relationship. Over time it has been or goal to work together to continuously improve our educational offering and to exceed the academic guidelines and standards put forth by Hockey Canada as an officially sanctioned Hockey Canada Accredited School.

We have been working hard to provide the best academic experience, while providing the support that is needed for a student-athlete with a rigorous training and travel schedule to succeed. SD62, has identified that there are different needs and demands on high-performance student-athletes in the district, and with this in mind, opened the doors of Qelensen 谩, Len Secondary (the SD62 Sport School) in 2022.

• Registration is handled by SD62 (Sooke) Sport School, with one counselor assigned for all PCHA students to help streamline the registration and course selection process and improve communication.
• All PCHA students attend Qelensen 谩, Len Secondary with their teammates and other students from high-performance academies within the school district. There is a dedicated Sports School teaching staff for these student-athletes. This staff is aware of all training and travel, thus, better equipped to support the needs of our students.
• Smaller class sizes 鈥� better teacher to student ratio.
• 3 tutorial blocks weekly for academic support Mon-Thurs (times depending on the student鈥檚 grade) built into the daily timetable.
• U17/U18 Players transition to School for their afternoon classes, following their daily training and development at PCHA. Classes will end at 3:20 pm, to allow students that commute to still get home at a reasonable hour. Our U15 teams attend school in the morning and transition to gym and on-ice development for the afternoon, with their day ending at 3:40pm
• Students take all their core courses and electives by face-to-face instruction delivered by SD62 teachers and tutorial staff.
• PCHA students can take additional online courses through Distributed Learning (DL) that will be supported by the Sports School academic staff during tutorial blocks.

鈥淚 am very excited about the new Sooke Sports School, and academic changes that will better support the educational needs of PCHA鈥檚 students, and the demands of today鈥檚 high-performance athletes. We are looking forward to the new changes as we continue to support this long-term partnership, and the growth of a dedicated Sports School in the Westshore鈥�听听 Wayne Kelly聽鈥� SD62 Principal of Academies

• PCHA is grateful that the Sooke School District (SD62) had identified a unique opportunity that benefits our high-performance student-athletes and creates an environment to learn with like-minded individuals. The new Sport School, and the district鈥檚 ability to adapt, will continue to strengthen our partnership with SD62 and improve the academic delivery to PCHA students.

At PCHA we are just as proud of our success鈥� in the classroom as on the ice 鈥� and are proud to claim three (3) CSSHL Scholastic Player of the Year awards in the past few seasons.

RESIDENTIAL LIFE:

PCHA offers a billeting program for our out-of-town players. We have a residential life coordinator that works with families and billets to find the best living situation for our players while attending PCHA.

Billet families provide our players a home away from home while attending PCHA. Along with providing room and board, meals, and transportation when needed, the billet family provides an environment of support and trust for the players. The billet family in many cases feels like they have gained a new member of the family 鈥� one whose career they can follow as they move on to play junior, college or even professional hockey.

• Our billet coordinator is responsible for recruiting billet families, coordinating communication and liaising between families, billets and academy staff. There is a comprehensive vetting procedure for prospective billet families which includes criminal record checks and home site visits.

STUDENT ATHLETE HEALTH:

PCHA has developed relationships with program doctors, dentists and medical聽personnel to support the health and well-being of all our players.

We have a partnership with聽Victoria Sports Therapy, and Motus Physiotherapy clinic for all our players medical treatment and rehabilitation needs, as well as聽Parkway Dental Group located a short walk from the Pacific Coast Hockey Academy and City聽Centre Park.

• Victoria Sports Therapy provides or arranges all Athletic Trainer鈥檚 (AT) for PCHA鈥檚 games and tournaments.
• Athletic therapists and physio communicate with team coaches, strength and conditioning coaches, and parents regarding player injuries, rehabilitation and return to play protocol.
• PCHA provides an AT for triage on Mondays in-season, to assess injuries that may have occurred in competion over the weekend.
