Winnipeg Jets Hockey Academy Program
WINNIPEG JETS HOCKEY ACADEMY PROGRAM 2024-2025
The WJHA program has two components. The Wednesday 'school day' program begins on Wednesday October 23rd, 2024. Students who are in this program will be called out of class and load the bus at 10:30-10:50AM. The students will go to the Ice Plex, get dressed for the ice time at 11:30-12:30. Following the on-ice time, students will be given lunch, (sandwich/wrap, juice and a little snack) and will be returned to the school around 1:15 for the afternoon of classes.
The Friday after school program will begin on Friday November 1st, 2024. The program will occur between 3:30 and 7:00. Dinner will be provided, there will be a lesson geared towards athletic development and psychology as well as a skate. Some weeks, our students will even attend field trips!
It is expected that children attend the Friday night sessions as well as the Wednesday sessions.
We look forward to supporting our players as they learn teamwork and hockey skills!
WJHA FRIDAY SCHEDULE 2024-2025
What To Bring:
A change of clothes for under their hockey equipment
A wash cloth for after practice (they get very sweaty)
A water bottle
A healthy snack for before practice
Behavioural Expectations:
The hockey program is a privilege and students are expected to represent Bruce in a positive way
They are student athletes - they must be attending school, participating in class, completing assignments and being good citizens in the building to be able to take part in the WJHA program
No phones are to be brought to the rink
Commitment Expectations:
The hockey program involves two different parts, Wednesdays and Fridays
Students are expected to attend both sessions each week
If a child is not attending hockey, a caregiver phone call is required to excuse the child as the hockey academy is now part of the programming
NOVEMBER 28TH EMAIL:
Hi everyone,
Below is the plan for after school this week.
The topic this week will be Conflict Resolution and we will push Sweating and Hydration to next week as we had to have a few discussions with some of our female Moose athletes this week. We will be reviewing behaviour expectations for the changeroom, bus and ice with all of our athletes as there is no place for drama in these areas. Please do the same at home. Thank you in advance.
Additionally, please note that in two weeks, on December 13th, we have our first field trip of the year to Camp Manitou! We have bumped the bus pick up time on this day to 1:45pm and will be back at the school for a 5:00pm dismissal. I will send more information closer to that date.
Lastly, coaches will be speaking with each group in the classroom this week about Independence at the rink. We are getting too many requests for help with hockey gear without students putting in a real effort first. The message will be very clear that we expect students to try, try again and if you still need assistance, coaches will help when they can. There are also many students that are incredibly independent so we will ask for these students to “mentor” those having trouble by showing others how it’s done!
