PROGRAM OVERVIEW
More hockey. More support. More confidence.
The Southridge Stars I.C.E. Program is a unique hybrid booster program designed to support both hockey development and academic growth — without requiring families to leave their current school or community hockey team.
Whether your child plays community hockey, club hockey, academy hockey, or simply wants additional development and support, the I.C.E. Program is built to work alongside their existing schedule.
This is not a replacement school program. It is a booster program designed to give student-athletes more.
