School Year Academy - 26/27
Your player deserves elite training. They shouldn't have to leave their school to get it.
The X7 School Year Academy gives Squirt through Bantam players the same caliber of development that $14,000 to $30,000 hockey academies charge for, at a fraction of the cost, without pulling your kid out of their school, their friend group, or their association team. Two locations. Up to 100 hours of professional on-ice coaching.
Practices
Full Academy skaters train Monday through Thursday. Up to 100 sessions across the school year.
Half Academy skaters choose Monday/Wednesday or Tuesday/Thursday
A weekly at-home skills & shooting program is also included for all skaters.
When
September 2026 through April, 2027. The full school year. Your player trains during the week and plays for their team on weekends.
Breaks built in for MEA, Thanksgiving, Winter Break, and Spring Break so it works with your family's schedule, not against it.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Half Academy worth it or should we go Full?
Two days a week with X7's coaching staff is more structured development than most players get all season outside of team practice. Full Academy is for families who want maximum reps and the fastest improvement. Either way, your player is getting training they can't get anywhere else at this price.
What skill level does my player need?
Players should have association-level experience. This isn't learn-to-skate. We pick up where your association program leaves off and accelerate from there.
How is this different from other hockey academies?
Most hockey academies require your player to attend their school, play on their team, and pay $14,000 to $30,000 a year. X7 Academy delivers the same level of professional coaching starting at $45/hr, and your kid never has to change a single thing about their life outside the rink.
