ES Lions Winter Hockey
What kind of athlete do you want to be?
We're now accepting players for our 2026–2027 Winter Hockey teams (2010, 2011, 2012 & 2013).
CULTURE IS EVERYTHING
At ES Lions, we believe hockey is one of the most influential environments in a young person’s life, and we take that responsibility seriously. We are intentionally building a program where players are more than just roster spots; they are known, developed, mentored, and genuinely cared for as people throughout their hockey journey.
What's included on the ice:
- Minimum 2 practices per week
- 32-game schedule across Alberta
- Professional skills providers
- Dedicated goalie-specific training
And off the ice:
- Twice-weekly off-ice athletic training
- Ongoing classroom workshops
- One-on-one mentorship
- Ongoing team and individual video analysis
- Player baseline testing to track growth from start to finish
- Intentional focus on confidence, mindset, mental growth, emotional wellness, and leadership development throughout the season.
Not local to the Edmonton area? We offer billeting opportunities for out-of-town players, pairing athletes with vetted host families so they can be part of something special without the distance being a barrier.
