It's time to train

One Program. One Pathway. One Standard.

Whether your goal is to represent Alberta, wear the Dinos jersey, or simply become the best player you can be, there's a place for you.

Every Dinos × Legacy athlete benefits from:

High-performance coaching from experienced university, provincial, national, and international coaches
Progressive technical and tactical development
Integrated strength and conditioning programming
Video analysis and classroom learning sessions
Competitive match play and tournament opportunities
A positive, challenging environment built around long-term athlete development

"Training sessions with Nick are always intense but enjoyable. He is an excellent coach - fun, relaxed and offers great feedback through customized training sessions. The speed and versatility of my game has improved significantly as I’ve been able to incorporate new skills into my play. Going into the NextGEN program and varsity level field hockey, Nick’s coaching has prepared me both physically and mentally for this higher level of competition."

The cool under pressure challenge. A great way to cap off the spring season.

So impressed with how this group has progressed over the past 10 months. The change in confidence, understanding, and habits have been so noticeable. Well done ladies.

This time of year, we remember our dear friend Megan Scraper and the lasting impact she had on so many within our hockey community.

The Megan Scraper TRY Scholarship was created to honour the qualities Megan embodied every day—leadership, boldness, positivity, the ability to inspire those around her, and a willingness to TRY.

This year, we are proud to recognize Natalia Vaughan as the 2026 recipient of the scholarship. Natalia’s character, dedication, and leadership within the Legacy Academy community reflect the values this award represents.

Congratulations, Natalia!

One of my favourite times of the year is our Alumni Series. It’s an amazing part of our culture to have our graduates come back from university to play against our existing U18 group, and some great high level hockey to watch as well. 🏑

For a sport that has been described as ‘sprinting with sticks,’ foot-speed is a vital skill for performance.

Big thanks to Ben from @thevault.training for coming out to help us with our speed work.

Receiving on the reverse can be challenging, or it can be a game breaking skill, it depends on how you train it 🙂🙃

Proud of this group. Not a better feeling as a coach than seeing athletes being exactly who they are in training everyday, but getting a chance to do it in the red and white.

What a weekend at Can-Am 2026.

Can’t really put into words how cool it is to see athletes I’ve spent years with earn the chance to wear the Maple Leaf for the first time. To be there to coach them as well was equally special. An awesome weekend for these athletes, a big moment for our program. So proud of this group.

A massive congratulations to Catalina, Kristen and Victoria on earning their first senior caps this weekend. Many more to come 🧢
