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.

- ...and more!
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. There is no better hockey development available that combines the best of hometown 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.
