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. The OMHA classifies the Prep Academy Teams as "Minor Development", otherwise known as MD. Some of the highlights you can expect are:

Ranger Bear
  • 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
  • ...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.

    • The Prep Academy MD Evaluation Registration Fee is $85.
    • As a not-for-profit organization, these fees cover ice time, instructors, and admin costs. Any surplus is reinvested into making Rep hockey more affordable.

    In advance of Evaluations, the ORHC offers a series of Prep Skates. Participation is OPTIONAL and there are NO EVALUATIONS conducted during these sessions. Each session is 50-minutes long, at a cost of $35, and is run by professional instructors. Just like with the Evaluation Registration, only players registered for the Jr Rangers Program for the upcoming 2025/26 season are eligible to attend Prep Skates. Please see below for the Prep Skate schedule and to register.

    Space in each Prep-Skate is limited! Register early to ensure your spot!

    The 2025/26 Rangers MD Coaches and Key Contacts can be found at

    If you are not able to attend an Evaluation due to injury, illness, or schedule conflict please inform the coach directly.

    A single evaluation date may include two separate groups (ie. 7:00pm and 8:00pm). If an evaluation date is going to be split you will receive an email from the coach with your assigned time. For example, let’s say there is a 2-hour session on the Monday at 7:00pm. The coach may elect to split this session - it is a single evaluation day, but half of the participants would go to at 7pm and the other half at 8pm - you will only attend ONE of the skates.

    Congratulations! Here is what happens next…

    • When the coach notifies you that you have made the team he will also provide you with a PRIVATE LINK to register - do not share this link with anyone
    • This registration is your acceptance of the offer to join the team
    • You must complete this registration to accept your offer within 24-hours or you will be at risk of loosing your spot
    • The ORHC Office will transfer your Jr Rangers Registration to the MD Team, and your registration fees will be allocated to the Team's budget.

    The Prep Academy U7 MD Program will consist of one or two teams ("U7 MD One" and "U7 MD Two"). The second team will be added provided there are enough players at an appropriate development threshold to support two competitive teams. Players do not register to be evaluated for a specific team; they register to try out for the Division. For example, players are not able to specifically register for "U7 MD One" or "U7 MD Two", they are registering to be evaluated for "U7 MD".

    • The U7 MD One and MD Two teams will be picked at the same time
    • Coaches can select a player at any point in the evaluation process
    • Players are not permitted to bypass one team or the other when trying out
    • It is important for players to understand they will be considered for BOTH of teams and maybe offered a spot on EITHER team at any point during the evaluation

    Evaluation Registration Refunds are available up to 24 hours before the first skate. After that, no refunds will be issued - no exceptions, even if the player doesn’t attend.

    To request a refund, please submit a Tryout Registration Refund Request at https://oakvillerangers.ca/Forms/14117/.
