We are proud to be the home of the PEAK Athletics Elementary Hockey Academy!
The PEAK Hockey Academy is in its 13th year in Fort McMurray Public Schools (formerly known as Edge Skill Academy). PEAK Performers have made higher-level teams at both provincial, national, and international levels, including the Alberta Winter Games teams and Team Alberta for the Arctic Winter Games. This is a great accomplishment for our student athletes and is a statement to the quality of our hockey instruction provided.
The Elementary Hockey Academy allows students in Grades 3-6 to work on developing their skills to supplement what they are learning with the local Minor Hockey Association or community team. Our student athletes are in skill-specific on-ice training regularly throughout the week. The schedule for the 2023-2024 season is below:
| September | 18th, 20th, 26th, 28th |

*indicates X-training days. Students will not be on the ice on these days; instead, they will learn a new sport (eg. badminton, pickleball, curling). Please watch emails for more information.
Our PEAK Athletics Academy monitors the achievements of our athletes through a series of in sport testing protocols used with provincial/national hockey programs. These tests are used to identify the areas in which a student is making improvements in hockey development. Our PEAK Academy also tracks the individual’s academic performance in classes/courses and ensures that they are maintaining levels of academic standard.
We are very proud of our PEAK students and their academic and sports goal setting and accomplishments! To learn more or inquire about the admissions process, please visit the PEAK Athletic Academy website.
