Programs
Development - Fall & Winter
Our Fall and Winter Development Programs provide high-intensity, professional-grade instruction designed to elevate every aspect of a player's game, from power skating to tactical puck management. Operating as a volunteer-led, at-cost initiative, we focus on bridging the gap between local talent and elite competition by making top-tier training accessible to dedicated Nanaimo athletes. Through a structured curriculum and a commitment to "Skills for Life," we prepare our players to compete at the highest levels while fostering the discipline and resilience needed for success on and off the ice.

Focusing on foundational excellence, our "at-cost" model provides 2019-born athletes with professional-grade instruction in power skating and puck control without the typical barriers of private spring programs. By competing in select regional showcases and high-intensity training sessions, we instill the "Skills for Life" and competitive discipline required to succeed at the AAA level. Join the newest generation of Hawks as we build a culture of teamwork, resilience, and elite development from the ground up.
Spring U9 (2017) - AAA & AA

Building on a championship-caliber inaugural season, our program emphasizes professional-grade skill development and tactical hockey IQ through a high-performance spring curriculum. As a volunteer-led, "at-cost" organization, we eliminate the profit-driven barriers of traditional spring hockey, ensuring 100% of player fees are reinvested into elite training and ice time. Join a culture defined by resilience and "Skills for Life" as we represent Vancouver Island in premier showcase tournaments across British Columbia.
