Spring Hockey
The Okanagan Impact Spring Hockey Program offers a premier opportunity for dedicated young athletes to take a calculated, powerful leap in their development during the off-season. This is not a traditional spring hockey experience; it’s an intensive, skill-focused developmental curriculum designed to build upon our core mission of skating excellence, transparency, and holistic growth.
We are committed to helping players translate training habits into in-game performance, ensuring they step onto the ice next season sharper, stronger, and more confident than ever before.
Program Focus: Development Over Distraction
While tournaments are part of the experience, the primary focus of Okanagan Impact is leveraging the Spring season for maximum skill refinement without the pressure of league standings. Our program features:
1. Accelerated Skill Curriculum
Our practices are built around a high-tempo, focused plan that targets the most essential and complex areas of the game:
-
Skating Power & Efficiency: Specialized training dedicated to maximizing speed, agility, and edge control—the elements that create time and space at every level.
-
Small Area Tactics: Drills designed to enhance hockey IQ, puck control under pressure, and decision-making in tight spaces.
-
Positional Versatility: Encouraging players to explore different roles and situations to become more well-rounded and adaptable athletes.
2. High-Impact Roster & Culture
We carefully select athletes who align with our values, prioritizing work ethic, discipline, and a coachable attitude. This commitment to character ensures a positive, high-energy environment where every player is motivated to push their teammates and themselves. Our culture of transparency ensures that every player and parent understands the expectations and developmental path.
3. Competitive Tournament Experience

This allows players to apply their newly refined skills in a challenging environment and gain exposure, all while keeping a manageable schedule that respects the importance of physical and mental rest during the off-season.
