Many young ice hockey talents in Central Switzerland dream of one day playing professionally on the ice. But the road to this goal is long and expensive. Not all families can afford the training costs. This is exactly where the Hockey Academy Foundation comes in.
Since 2013, the foundation has been supporting talented young people on their path to a sporting and professional future. The unique training model currently enables up to 48 talented youngsters to take part in “The Hockey Academy” every year. This 4-year programme combines sport and education at the highest level. The EVZ and the Hockey Academy Foundation are proud of their home-grown talent, many of whom have made the leap to the Swiss League, National League or even North America, where they play ice hockey successfully.
