To support families during the busy hockey season, we provide a storage locker for WHA students and parents to keep their hockey equipment during the year. The WHA storage lockers are at both Co-op Place and Agriplex. Additionally, parents can drop off and store equipment at their child's school as needed.
After each session, students are provided a juice box and healthy snack to help them re-fuel before heading back to school.
Students were provided with Hockey Canada apparel to wear while participating in the academy. Students were able to keep the following items: Hockey jersey, hockey socks, training shirt and shorts.
