Academy Tryout
All prospective student-athletes will attend at least one of the Tryout camps. This is an opportunity to see our campus, meet our staff, and learn more about our program in person. Our staff will be able to assess all prospective student-athletes in order to finally determine their academic and athletic readiness to enter our Academy.
We ask all players applying to our Academy to come to St. Pölten Austria for at least one of our Tryout Camps. With this camp, the Okanagan Hockey Academy will start its selection process for the coming school year and hockey season for the locations in St. Pölten (Austria) and Swindon (U.K.)
Prior to attending the camp please make sure you submit the online student-athlete recruitment form.
Families and players who need accommodation can book at these preferred Hotels in St. Pölten:
