Where Student-Athletes Rise Higher
I.C.E - Innovative Coaching & Education
The I.C.E Program is a full-day development model created for student-athletes who want to excel both academically and athletically.
Designed by Southridge Academy’s educational team and supported by Southridge Star's hockey coaches, the ICE Program offers a balanced, high-performance experience that ensures every athlete thrives on and off the ice.
Why Choose the I.C.E Program?
The ICE Program blends elite hockey development, personalized education, and structured daily training to give young athletes the tools, confidence, and discipline needed for long-term success.
Our model ensures that your child never has to sacrifice school for sport—or sport for school. Instead, they receive the best of both worlds.
