The Oakville Rangers Prep Academy offers a best-in-class hockey development opportunity for U7, U8 and U9 participants to prepare these players for Oakville Rangers Rep Hockey from U10 to U18. The ORHC Prep Academy MD Teams will participate in a regional based loop managed by the Tri-County Minor Hockey League including Oakville, Burlington, Milton, Halton Hills, and Flamborough. Some of the highlights you can expect are:

• Professional development in addition to coach-run practices
• Competitively tiered teams to ensure a fun and competitive environment
• Season wrap-up Gala weekends
• A number of Jamborees that will also feature teams from outside of Tri-County
• Exhibition games and the ability to participate in other jamborees/tournaments

The Oakville Rangers Prep Academy offers an elite experience focused on player development. This includes building technical skills, tactical understanding, physical fitness and mental acuity. Teams will be assembled in the Fall. You MUST BE registered for the Jr Rangers to attend Evaluations, and you MUST BE registered for Evaluations to be considered for the ORHC Prep Academy MD Teams - this is separate from your Jr Rangers Registration for the upcoming season.

There is no better hockey development available that combines the best of home-town hockey, tiered competition, professional development, and fun with friends. This is a Hockey Canada-sanctioned and Hockey Canada Pathway-approved environment, aimed at preparing players for Oakville Rangers Rep Hockey beginning at U10.

ORHC Prep Academy Evaluation Schedule & Registration
The 2024/25 ORHC Prep Academy Evaluation Registration Fee is $75. You MUST BE registered for the Jr Rangers to attend Evaluations, and you MUST BE registered for Evaluations to be considered for the ORHC Prep Academy MD Teams - this is separate from your Jr Rangers Registration for the upcoming season.

The ORHC Tryout Portal is used by ORHC Coaches and Staff and by Tryout Applicants to manage their Tryout Process for the Oakville Rangers. The ORHC Prep Academy Team Selection Process is not a "Tryout" - this is an "Evaluation". But the tools provided by this Tryout Portal are still going to be very useful for both you and the Coaches/Evaluators, and so the Tryout Portal will be utilized for this Evaluation Process as well.

The 2024/25 ORHC Prep Academy Evaluation Schedule is also located here in the ORHC Tryout Portal at tryouts.oakvillerangers.ca/schedule/. Be sure to check the schedule regularly in the days leading up to your Evaluation in case there are any modifications made.

Request a Refund...
If you change your mind and would like to request a refund please return to the ORHC Tryout Portal, log into your account, and click on Tryouts I Registered For.

NO REFUNDS WILL BE PROVIDED AFTER THE EVALUATIONS HAVE BEGUN!.

Split Sessions...
The first several Evaluation Skates are "Split Sessions". A Split Session is when a single Evaluation Session is split into two individual skates. For example, the U7 Session on Septmber 8th is a Split Session at 12:00pm and 1:00pm. This is a single Evaluation, but half of the participants would go to the 12pm skate and the other half to the 1pm skate. In the event of a Split Session you will receive an email either the evening prior or the morning of the Split Session to inform you which of the skates you are to attend.

ORHC Prep Academy Evaluation Prep-Skates
The U7, U8, and U9 ORHC Rep Academy Prep-Skates are optional skates that will give players an opportunity to hit the ice and have some fun before diving into their Evaluation! Participation is optional and there will be NO EVALUATIONS conducted during these Prep Skates. Each session is 50-minutes long at a cost of $29, and will be run by professional instructors. We are offering 2 skates per Division, one on Friday, September 6th and one on Saturday, September 7th.
