Hockey @ SC

The hockey tradition at Stanstead College goes back to the very early days of the sport. Today, Stanstead hockey serves as a gateway for young boys and girls looking to improve their skills, academic success and opportunities for playing beyond high school. At Stanstead College, we take hockey seriously.
"Arriving at Stanstead I knew it was the right fit for me as a person and as a hockey player. I was pushed academically, developed study habits and became a more independent person."

Stanstead College hockey is recognized as one of the finest prep school programs in Eastern Canada, with top-notch training and an intensive schedule against highly competitive prep teams in New England and beyond. Over the years, Spartan alumni have gone on to play elite junior and college hockey and attend quality North American universities.

Varsity boys and girls hockey teams at Stanstead College benefit from a two-term schedule that begins in September and finishes in March. Both varsity teams practice 5 times per week with 3-4 off-ice sessions as well throughout the year. Our prep boys and girls teams practice 2-3 times per week in the fall and compete full-time during the winter term ending in March/April. The thirds team competes in the winter term and practices 3-4 times per week with 2-3 off-ice sessions.

Our teams are proud to boast wonderful state-of-the-art locker rooms in one of the finest new ice hockey facilities in Canada, the Pat Burns Arena.

  • Athlete of the Week: Noémie Cloutier

    A Grade 11 student from Sherbrooke, Quebec, Noémie Cloutier was the heart, soul and rock of the prep girls hockey team all through last weekend's JWHL playoffs. With the team down two defenders all weekend due to injuries, the team’s captain played every second shift on defence. Not only did she perform her regular duties of shutting down the opposition’s offensive threats, but she also contributed offensively by scoring her first goal of the season in the opening game. She played through the pain of badly bruised ribs and never complained about it. Wanting a championship so badly, she showed up three hours early at 6:00 am to prepare for the big game. The girls could not have pulled it off this weekend without her leadership and unconditional dedication to a team-first attitude. Congratulations, Athlete of the week Noémie Cloutier.
