If attending college and succeeding is a priority, as we see it, then you need all of the information we have for you. You can partner your hockey with education here in the CJHL. You can graduate on time from high school. You can take the proper courses to ensure acceptance to university. You can develop strong study habits in a pre-university environment, all while continuing your hockey career in the CJHL.   Every year more and more Junior A players are selected by NHL teams. You don't have to sacrifice your education to do it. CJHL players miss ZERO days of school due to hockey travel! Our close competiton sees players miss only a handful of classes all season.
