Based in Coeur d’Alene, ID, the Coeur d’Alene Hockey Academy joined the ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ during the 2015-16 season as the league’s only American program. This season, they took an operational pause from the ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ due to ongoing COVID-19 restrictions and the Canada-US border closure.

Come September 2021, Coeur d’Alene Hockey Academy will operate a U18 Prep team in addition to their U17 Prep and Female U18 Prep teams.

The ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ has announced that its Board of Governors has granted approval for five ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ member programs to operate new teams in the 2021-22 season–the Prairie Hockey Academy, the Notre Dame Hounds, the Pilot Mound Hockey Academy, Bourget College and Mount Academy. 

Based in Caronport, Sask., the Prairie Hockey Academy joined the ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ in 2018-19. Prairie currently operates teams in the U16 Prep and U17 Prep divisions and was approved to expand its programming into the U15 Prep and U18 Prep divisions.

During the 2016-17 season, the Notre Dame Hounds, located in Wilcox, Sask., joined the ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ. The Hounds will add a U18 Prep team in the 2021-22 season to span across four divisions, the U15 Prep, U16 Prep, U17 Prep and U18 Prep.

The Pilot Mound Hockey Academy also joined the league during the 2016-17 season. The Buffaloes, who are located in Pilot Mound, Man., will add a U15 Prep team in fall 2021 and will ice also teams across the U17 Prep and Female U18 Prep divisions. 

Bourget College, located in Rigaud, Que.,  joined the ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ as part of the league’s eastern Canada expansion in 2019-20. Bourget will add a team to the U17 Prep division to complement its U18 Prep team for the 2021-22 season. 

Located in Charlottetown, P.E.I., Mount Academy’s U16 Prep team will compete in the U17 Prep division for the 2021-22 campaign. Mount joined the ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ in 2019-20 and will also operate teams in both the U17 Prep and U18 Prep divisions. 

With all teams now approved for the 2021-22, the ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ will turn our focus to creating a regular season schedule in accordance with the local and provincial health authority guidelines. We look forward to beginning our 13th season Fall 2021.
