Nutrition

Nutrition is an important part of our hockey training program—to perform at an elite level, the human body needs the right kind of fuel.

CIH Academy features a fully equipped cafeteria that serves tasty and nutritious meals three times a day. Our food services staff offers a variety of healthy, balanced meals using Hockey Canada's recommended menu to meet our athletes’ needs.

Our food services staff ensures that our athletes enjoy a variety of quality meals throughout the year, including thematic and seasonal menus: Halloween, Christmas, St. Patrick's Day, Easter and even the NHL Playoffs! We also invite athletes to share and prepare recipes from home with our staff as a fun learning experience for all.

*Students can choose from a variety of items to personalize their healthy breakfast
