Ontario Development Hubs Program

As we initiate the programming of OSSA's 2021-2028 High Performance Plan, we are pleased to announce the Ontario Development Hubs Program (ODHP) for 2022-2023.

As a part of the ODHP, OSSA is offering weekly on-ice training to Ontario's top skaters across the province, starting in May and running through August.

In order to benchmark our top ODHP skaters, OSSA is also hosting a Dryland Testing camp on the weekend of May 14-15, 2022 at the Pan Am Centre in Toronto. This camp will be hosted in collaboration with the Canadian Sport Institute Ontario and is guided by the Directors and Exercise Physiologists at the Canadian Sport Institute Calgary. The camp will offer testing protocols used by Canada's top speed skaters and will help us benchmark our athletes for future programming.

OSSA will be sending out invitation emails to the skaters eligible for the ODHP within the next week. Please see the document below for ODHP criteria and details.
