Revenue model

1. Session-Based Skating Classes: Regular skating classes are sold as 2-month blocks. Classes run weekly during the session period. Payment is required in full upon registration. Classes are priced at $420 for May-June sessions and $480 for July-August sessions. Classes include Learn to Skate, Power Skating, Master Power Skating, and Elite Power Skating programs.
2. Summer Hockey Clinics: 4-day intensive clinics held during summer, March break, and Christmas breaks. Each clinic is priced at $480 plus HST ($542.40 total) for hockey players age 9 and up. Clinics consist of two 1-hour sessions: first hour focuses on technical skating (power side and edge side), second hour focuses on puck and stick skills.
3. Private Lessons: One-on-one coaching sessions for elite athletes (typically 13+ years old) offering player-specific corrections and video feedback. These are considerably more expensive than group lessons and are described as an earned privilege. Only available to skaters currently registered with the academy.
4. Team Training Services: Hockey teams can hire the academy to run practices on their practice ice. Options include: (1) PSA sends 1-3 coaches to run team practices at a 5:1 player coach ratio, or (2) teams travel to PSA's scheduled class times. Includes team assessments with on-ice and off-ice testing, individual reports, and team rankings.

Scale indicators4 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Emerging players

• Power Edge Pro: Company that has built hockey training around a proprietary skating activation and edge-control system, including equipment and programming. Comparable thematic focus on edge work and modern skating technique, but distributes through a different (equipment/IP) business model.
• HowToHockey: Online hockey training content and resource platform covering skating, shooting, and skills. Comparable audience (hockey parents and players) and subject matter, but distributes digitally rather than through in-person instruction.

Others

• GTHL (Greater Toronto Hockey League): Major Toronto-area minor hockey league whose member teams are a primary customer base for PSA's Team Development and clinic services. Not a direct competitor, but a key ecosystem participant that channels demand to or away from independent skating schools.

Direct peers

• Edge School: Calgary-based private school whose athletic academy is anchored by elite hockey and skating development. Comparable as a high-performance hockey training institution serving youth through prep-level players, though operating in a school format rather than a session-based academy.
• Pro Performance Hockey: Hockey training company offering skating, shooting, and skills coaching for players at all levels. Directly comparable service offering and customer segment, with overlapping focus on power skating as a foundation of player development.
• Hockeytec: Multi-location hockey-specific training company offering power skating, shooting, and skills instruction in Canada and the U.S. Closely comparable in product offering (skating + skills) and target customer (hockey players and families), and operates the kind of multi-site hockey training footprint that PSA is positioned to expand into.
• Revolution Hockey: Hockey skills and skating instruction business operating camps, clinics, and private lessons. Comparable in product mix (skating + skills), target customer (youth through competitive players), and brick-and-mortar instruction model.
• Total Package Hockey: Hockey-specific skills and skating instruction provider serving youth and competitive players through camps, clinics, and private training. Comparable customer base and program structure, with a comparable mix of power skating and skill development.

Broad incumbents

• Shattuck-Saint Mary's: U.S. hockey prep school with a long-standing reputation as a top development pipeline for elite U.S. hockey talent. Comparable as a destination institution for elite-level hockey player development, but operates at much larger scale and as a full boarding school rather than a community-based skating academy.
• Hockey Canada: National governing body for hockey in Canada that sets development pathways and skill standards. Comparable in that it shapes how power skating is taught nationwide and represents both a coordination layer and a potential partnership/standardization channel for PSA.
