Delta Hockey Academy

This registration page is for Delta Hockey Academy student-athletes interested in attending additional on-ice spring development sessions on Tuesdays & Thursdays from April 9 to June 13 during academy hours. 

The Spring Development Program will include 20 on-ice skill development sessions over 10 weeks following a specific development curriculum which will include four areas of focus. The program will be lead by the Vancouver Giants Skills Coach Nick Drazenovic and DHA Lead Skills Coach Tim Preston with the support of DHA coaches Austin Vetterl, Mike Aviani, Richard Mueller, Brent Thurston & Rick Lanz. The four areas of focus will include: 

• Skating & Edge Work – 5 sessions (April 9 to May 9) 
• Shooting & Scoring – 5 sessions (April 9 to May 9)
• Skills & Situational Training – 5 sessions (May 14 – June 13) 
• Defence & Forward Position-Specific Training – 5 sessions (May 14 – June 13)

Spring ice times on Tuesdays and Thursdays will be scheduled during your regular winter practice slot (note: U18 Female Prep Black will follow their Tuesday winter schedule, not Thursday). Student-athletes that do not opt-in to the spring development program will have additional study time at the rink during their team’s spring skills ice slot. Goalies are invited to register for these sessions as well at a discounted rate — we will use goalies for all sessions except “Skating & Edge Work.” Goalie-specific training with Lynden and Kai is available on Mondays — click here to sign up for Goalie Training.
