The St. James Junior Canucks are committed to fostering the development of young hockey players within the community. Throughout the season, all Canucks players participate in a variety of local events, including community tournaments, club carnivals, and minor hockey practices. They are proud to give back to St. James Minor Hockey—a community that played a key role in shaping them as both athletes and individuals.
A key initiative of the Canucks executive is to offer high-quality hockey development at an affordable price for players in St. James and the surrounding area. Our camps are designed not only to enhance individual skill levels, but also to emphasize the importance of teamwork, work ethic, and maintaining a positive attitude.
Our camp instructors are highly trained, certified coaches who grew up playing in the St. James Minor Hockey system. They are excited to give back by providing quality, skill-based instruction to the next generation of players.
Each participant in the camp will receive:
- A St. James Junior Canucks Hockey Camp jersey
- The first opportunity to sign up to lead the Canucks onto the ice with the flag during a home game
