I wouldn’t say those schools are for elite athletes
These aren’t American prep schools like IMG Academy…..
But the quality of the education and the schools themselves are excellent. I have one son at St Mikes now and I highly recommend any of those three mentioned.
They are excellent schools and way better than those hockey academies that have been popping up that tried to pawn themselves off as “academic and athletics” when everybody knows they just push students through.
These new private hockey schools are popping up like weeds, and it’s so obvious they’re just cash grabs. Parents are out here spending crazy money for four years, thinking their kid’s gonna make it, and then boom, graduation comes, and they’re working regular jobs like everyone else. Nothing wrong with that, but let’s be real… nobody’s going to the show.

What’s your kid like academically? If not so great he could be limited in options. The Hill or Everest for kids that are struggling with their school work and are average players that can benefit from extra ice time and the physical activity. SAC, ST M.I.K.E.’S and UCC for smart students and elite athletes, you need to be interviewed and they will check your grades. My son also had to write an entrance exam.

Well said. The topic is over. UCC, SAC and St Mikes are where any bright person will start. Quite frankly if my kid couldn’t get in one of these three schools, public school is next best option and try again the following year. Stay focused on these three schools
