BC Hockey in our Schools

• BC Hockey proudly unveils a student
  development and activity curriculum for ice
  hockey in BC Schools.
• Hockey is synonymous with Canada and we
  believe all BC students should engage in lifes
  learning outcomes through a hockey experience!
• We know they will find hockey an exhilarating
  learning environment.

Background

• The program involves six on-ice sessions
  formatted into a teaching unit. The suggestion is
  that these sessions each be 45 minutes of on-ice
  activity (may be varied with ice availability).
• Each on-ice session is easily adaptable to the
  various hockey skill levels of the students by
  breaking the ice into stations. Pilots were
  successful with up to 70 students on the ice at
  one time in Level 1 Primary!

5
Our purpose is to deliver

• A program that offers instruction and skill
  development at the ability level of students.
• A program that introduces all our students to
  Canadas national game
• Promotion of healthier lifestyles with increased
  physical activity

Our Purpose (2)

A Principals comments

• What a great experience for our students. The
  class had a wide range of abilities with most
  being beginners. Skill levels were greatly
  improved.
• Our students had a fun learning experience.
• We are an In Motion school. This fit our
  profile and addresses the need that young
  adolescents need lots of physical activity and a
  connection to positive activities.
