TOP Hockey Program Overview

The TOP Hockey program provides a competitive hockey pathway for players ages 4 to 17, focusing on skill development, quality coaching, and manageable schedules for all programs. For the 2023-2024 season, we will be offering programs for boys and girls born between 2009 and 2019 in three different streams.


Academy Teams

Ages 7+

Competitive hockey teams with an emphasis on player development and positive character building, along with a unique ski-friendly schedule. Designed for more advanced players, filled by tryouts or by invitation only. Academy teams feature 2-3 practices per week, local game schedule, and tournaments. Academy teams U11 and older participate in the ORHL League that features a 32-game schedule.

MEET PROGRAM MANAGER IAN MACKENZIE!

If you've been involved with our programs over the past five years, it's likely you've seen Coach Ian hanging around the rink, field, or gym. One of the founding partners of TOP Sports, Ian is one of the most experienced and respected youth hockey coaches around. A native of Toronto, Ian was a very successful multi-sport athlete in high school, playing golf, basketball, volleyball, lacrosse, and hockey, some at the provincial level, and found equal success in all sports. Upon graduation from high school Ian attended Wilfrid Laurier University to study Business and Communications, and briefly played junior hockey in Waterloo before shifting his focus to coaching.  


 After graduating from Laurier and spending time living abroad, Ian began running his own hockey school and worked with a number of major minor hockey clubs in Toronto. When TOP was founded in 2017, Ian was instrumental in developing the hockey program to what it is now, and is a huge part of creating #TheOtherPath.  


Ian currently holds certificates from the National Coaching Certification Program and Hockey Canada, and will be pursuing his NCCP Advanced Coaching Diploma later this year. In addition to his role as the Program Manager of TOP Hockey, Ian also oversees parts of our Summer Camps, Collingwood Programs, and Coach Development Programs.  


If you'd like to reach out and chat about our hockey programs, Ian can be found via email at ian@topsports.ca.
