ORHC Rep Academy


The Oakville Rangers Hockey Club is proud to announce the introduction of the Oakville Rangers Rep Academy this coming season. The Academy will offer a best-in-class hockey development opportunity for U7, U8 and U9 participants and prepare these players for Oakville Rangers Rep hockey from U10 to U18. The ORHC Rep Academy players will receive professional instruction, and teams will participate in the Halton United Hockey League (HUHL), a brand-new league including Oakville, Burlington, Milton, Halton Hills, and Flamborough. All five hockey clubs are founding members of the league. Here are some of the highlights:

Halton United Hockey League
  • Professional development in addition to coach-run practices
  • Competitively tiered and balanced teams to ensure a fun and competitive environment
  • 24-game season against Burlington, Milton, Halton Hills, and Flamborough (minimal travel required)
  • Season wrap-up Gala weekends hosted by HUHL centres
  • A number of Jamborees that will also feature teams from outside of HUHL
  • Exhibition games and the ability to participate in other jamborees/tournaments

The Oakville Rangers Rep Academy offers an elite experience focused on player development. This includes building technical skills, tactical understanding, physical fitness and mental acuity. Prep-Skates and Evaluations are beginning in early September, registrations details are listed below. You MUST BE registered for Evaluations to be considered for the ORHC Rep Academy teams - this is separate from your Jr Rangers Registration for the upcoming season. We are targeting 3 teams at U9, 3 teams at U8 and 2 teams at U7.

There is no better hockey development available that combines the best of home-town hockey, tiered competition, professional development, and fun with friends. This is a Hockey Canada-sanctioned and Hockey Canada Pathway-approved environment, aimed at preparing players for Oakville Rangers Rep Hockey beginning at U10.

Please Note: OMHA Regulations requires these teams be Residentially Compliant
You must be an Oakville Resident to be eligible for the ORHC Rep Academy



ORHC Rep Academy Prep-Skates and Evaluations
The ORHC will be offering a Prep-Skate for each Division on September 8th and September 9th, then Evaluations for the ORHC Rep Academy Teams will begin on September 10th.


Prep-Skates
The U7, U8, and U9 Prep-Skates are optional skates that will give players an opportunity to hit the ice and have some fun before diving into their Evaluation! Participation is optional and there will be NO EVALUATIONS conducted during these Prep Skates. Each session is 1-hour long, at a cost of $27, and will be run by professional instructors. We are offering 2 skates per Division, one on September 8th and one on September 9th. For more information, please visit https://oakvillerangers.ca/Pages/33183/ORHC_Rep_Academy_Evaluations/


Evaluations
Evaluations for the ORHC Rep Academy Teams will begin on September 10th. You must attend these Evaluations to be considered for the ORHC Rep Academy Teams, and you MUST BE REGISTERED FOR EVALUATIONS TO ATTEND. These Evaluations ARE NOT included as part of your Jr Rangers Registration for the upcoming season - you must register for Evaluations separately. Registration for the ORHC Rep Academy Evaluations is done in the ORHC Tryout Portal and the Evaluation Fee is $75.



Each Division is scheduled for 5 Evaluation Skates and no selections will be made prior to the third skate. Everyone who registers for evaluations is expected to attend the first 3 Evaluations. You will also attend the 4th and 5th Evaluations, unless specifically told not to by the Evaluators. Players that are not required to attend the 4th or 5th Evaluations will be notified by email.

Note that the first 4 Evaluations are two 1-hour blocks. For example, on September 10th U7 has a session at both 12:00pm and 1:00pm. This is called a Split Session. A Split Session is when a single Evaluation is split into two individual skates. You will not attend both of the sessions. You will receive an email from the Evaluators the evening before the Evaluation letting you know which of the sessions to attend.

The players participating in the Oakville Rangers Rep Academy must be registered in the Jr Rangers program for the upcoming season. The ORHC Rep Academy is an Add-On to the Jr Rangers Development Program. There will be additional fees to participate in the ORHC Rep Academy. Players selected to one of the ORHC Rep Academy Teams will be levied a Player Assessment Fee. The ORHC Rep Academy Teams will operate on a team budget that will cover all of their team expenses, such as ice, jerseys, jamborees, etc, similar to our Rep Teams. The true cost for playing on a ORHC Rep Academy Team will be a combination of the Registration Fee, paid upon registration to the Jr Rangers Program, and the Player Assessment, which will be collected by the team. As the expenses may vary from team to team and pending some of the variable costs, we would estimate the Player Assessment at $1,000 per player.

THE SCHEDULE BELOW IS SUBJECT TO CHANGE WITHOUT NOTICE OR NOTIFICATION!!
