LPSD Hockey Academy Program applications open for the following school year in early spring.  The program will offer two on-ice weekly sessions to develop athletics, academics, and character. 

The program has been an important part of LPSD's offerings for the last ten years. Helping students engage in their schoolwork while pursuing athletic goals is a proven model that we are proud to offer within our division. The current economic situation in our community does affect our program moving forward, and we would like to help out as much as possible.
