SCIDES is proud to offer educational programming designed to meet the unique needs of junior hockey players. Our tailored programming is ideal for junior hockey players as it works with the demands of training, competition, and travel to ensure learners are not sacrificing education for hockey or vice versa. Our Junior Hockey Program delivers comprehensive education that covers all BC graduation requirements and currently includes full time students playing across the WHL, BCHL, KIJHL, and PJHL. SCIDES alumni includes NHL draft picks and NCAA scholarship recipients.

We are proud that our work to this point has cultivated partnerships with teams, where we provide education to groups of players competing together. Our partnerships include the Spokane Chiefs (WHL), Lethbridge Hurricanes (WHL), Coastal Tsunami (PJHL), and the Island HC (JPHL team affiliate of the Cowichan Capitals [BCHL]}. We are always looking to cultivate more partnerships and welcome interest.
