The CSSHL continually strives to be a
leader in education-based hockey in
North America. The objective of the
league is to provide a competitive
environment for young studentathletes that share similar values of
Sportsmanship, Citizenship, Academic
Excellence and Hockey Development.
ABOUT THE CSSHL
CSSHL League Mission Statement: “To
be National Leaders in EducationBased Hockey”
In 2009, five like-minded Hockey
Canada Accredited Schools came
together to launch the Canadian Sport
School Hockey League. Their vision
was to establish a league designed
specifically for elite-level studentathletes, give these athletes an
opportunity to increase their skills on
and off the ice, and provide athletes
with a high level of competition as well
as exposure.
ACADEMICS
When the CSSHL was founded in 2009,
the focus was not only placed on
hockey but that education of young
student-athletes is of the utmost
importance. Our programs have a
structured yet supportive environment
to help balance academic workloads.
The inaugural 2009-10 season featured
five sport schools and eight total teams
spread across two divisions. During the
2020-21 season, the CSSHL will feature
26 Accredited Schools/Schools with
Residence and 84 teams in eight
different divisions.
With the uniquely structured
academics and learned time
management skills, the student-athlete
has the opportunity to chase their
goals without compromising their
education.
All programs within the CSSHL are
sanctioned Hockey Canada Accredited
Schools or Schools with Residence,
meeting the regulations of not only
Hockey Canada, but their respective
provincial or regional members.
