OTR programs are specifically designed to utilize the smaller ice surface to provide a higher level of instruction to the players attending the programs. The players will receive more personal instruction than you will find in virtually any other Hockey school, due to low student to instructor ratio. The smaller ice surface also promotes more touches on the puck, which in turn increases learning.

The Beginner and Intermediate programs are specifically designed to help increase each player’s skill level by breaking down skills and teaching through repetition. Our August programs include 2 ice-times per day, dry-land, lunch and hockey jerseys. In an effort to help promote healthy living, Boston Pizza has partnered with Burke’s Blades and will provide the jerseys and meals for the players. Drop cheque and registration off (Or submit on-line) at the Okanagan Training Rink.
