A Great Experience

Written by Candace & Nigel Goody on Wednesday, 20 January 2021

Attending Global Sports Academy was a great experience for our son. He really enjoyed the multi-sport aspect of the program. There is an emphasis on team work and friendly competition that encourages students to excel in everything they do. The Global staff are focused on building good people, not just good athletes. They really care about each student and work hard to meet their needs and help them to reach their goals. The friendships made and life-skills learned at Global are things our son will always carry with him.

4 Years of Exceptional Results

Written by Judy McBride on Monday, 16 April 2018

My son has been involved with the Global Sport Academy programs for the past four years beginning in first year bantam with the STIX Spring program. The coaches we encountered during this time have been nothing short of phenomenal. From the head coach to all assistant coaches the mindset is consistent, developing the players for their futures on and off ice.

Highly Recommended

As a family, our interaction with the Global Sport Academy program has been very positive. We have been so impressed with the time and effort that all facilitators have put into planning and developing activities, both on and off the ice. Every attempt has been made to create a program that is not only focused on the core values, but is also *fun* for the athletes. It is very obvious that all staff involved genuinely care. We see this in both the hockey aspect of the academy, but also the schooling and academic aspect.

More than just sports

Prior to my son even being accepted into the Global Sport Academy program in Airdrie, my son was probably given the most valuable piece of advice that any mentor can teach an impressionable teenager:

“The effort is far more important than the outcome…” – Jeff Ovens, Vice President of Business Development, in speaking about my sons upcoming Science Exam.

Global Golf Program

Written by The Bradshaw Family on Thursday, 24 November 2016

The Global Sport Academy Program has been a real confidence booster for our son Jaden. Golf is a passion for him and it's wonderful to watch the program really cultivate that. He has had some excellent instruction, tons of practice and game play, as well as a trip down to Phoenix that created memories he will never forget.

Global School Programs

Written by The Howard Family on Thursday, 11 August 2016

The Global Sport Academy program is a very well-run school-partnered program. The quality of the instructors is excellent – as parents of a goalie, having a dedicated goalie coach has been fantastic for our son’s development both on and off-ice. Being a goaltender is more than technical skill in net, it is mental strength and performance and the goalie coaching has helped with both of these aspects of the position for our son.

Coaches who Care

Written by Jane on Friday, 05 August 2016

We love the enthusiasm of the coaches and staff on and off the ice and the regular communication through social media which the kids love. Also means I don’t have to chasing up information myself. Additionally, Global coaches really support and encourage the academic performance of the students – something I’m exceptionally grateful for!

A Grade 9 Story

A Grade 9 Story

Hi Coach Maloney and Coach Ovens,

I just want to send you and your coaches a note of thanks. Carter seems to be adapting very well to high school and his focus and study habits have improved so much!
Also Carter is just finishing up his evaluations and I have never seen him so confident and at times he has dominated his ice sessions. In his last session he was scrimmaging with the top group, mainly made up of 16/17 yr olds who recently played quadrant.. His team won 2 to 0 and Carter scored both goals.
