Fury Spring Team
Every spring, Fire and Ice Hockey selects players (born 2010/2011) for a local spring hockey academy experience. Players will receive theory training (in-person and online) and have the chance to put it to work and hone their practical skills on the ice. Skill development will cover all aspects of the game, including skating, shooting, passing, offense, defense, and teamwork. At the end of the program, Fury will compete in a tournament against other spring academy teams.
A Fury team jersey and warm-up gear are included in the program.
Selected players may be expected to provide a reference before being offered a spot on the team. The first deposit is required upon program acceptance.

About Fury Skills Academy
In 2025, Fury Academy had three divisions of development. Check in with us about our plans for the 2026 program.
Our Mighty Fury Academy works with Initiation-aged players working up to full ice integration.
Our Intermediate Fury Academy works with players who have a foundation of technical & tactical skills.
Our Elite Fury Academy works to help players advance their abilities at a High Performance level.
Fury Academy Sessions are led by Hockey Canada Certified Skills Coach Whitney Juszkiewicz and assisted by Coach Laura Destantis (Burnaby Wildcats) and Kelsey Firkus (Fraser Valley Rush). The program is operated out of Planet Ice Coquitlam. This program runs in June.
As each player is unique, these programs will help each individual learn situations to achieve success. Coaches' feedback is continuous, and successes are celebrated!
