Competition

The TCS alpine team competes weekly during the winter season, in the Conference of Independent Schools Athletic Association (CISAA). The league hosts approximately 10-12 teams with a mix of Level 1 and Level 2 racers. Level 1 racers are those athletes who are new to the sport of alpine racing, while Level 2 racers are athletes who have race training experience or who have represented and competed with racing clubs in the past. The race season consists of five CISAA starts with the opportunity to qualify for Ontario Federation of School Athletic Associations (OFSAA) competition.

Facilities

TCS has an excellent relationship with our local ski resort, Brimacombe. Racers have access to set training environments and lane space on a regular basis, all of which are set by TCS coaches themselves. The pro shop at the hill, Slopeside, works closely with the team in order to facilitate race equipment and gear needs. A waxing facility on campus provides racers with all the tools needed to ensure that equipment is race ready prior to both training and competition.

Development

Alpine season starts in November, with focused dryland training and on-hill tactical skiing once our local hill opens. Specific and targeted training trips take place prior to the Christmas break. During the winter season, a typical week involves the following:

• Monday – Slalom and GS gate training environment, on-hill at Brimacombe
• Tuesday – Core workouts, weight training and tuning
• Wednesdays – Travel to CISAA races at clubs in the Collingwood area
• Fridays – Tactical skiing and training at Brimacombe

Competition

The season starts in early November and finishes at the beginning of March. Our team plays in the Conference of Independent Schools Athletic Association (CISAA), a league made up of independent schools from across Ontario. At the Bigside level (Varsity) there is a 25 game schedule, plus playoffs. We supplement the league schedule of 10-12 games with exhibition games as well as two or three tournaments. At the Littleside level (Junior Varsity) there are 10-12 league games, in addition to five exhibition games and two tournaments.

Program successes

OFSAA participation in 2013, 2008 and 2018

Trinity College School’s boys hockey program includes two teams. The Varsity team, or Bigside, is typically made up of older and more experienced players. Our second team, or Junior Varsity (Middleside), is a springboard to playing at the Bigside level and is open to all grades.

Competition

The hockey season starts in mid-November at the beginning of the winter term. Our teams play in the Conference of Independent Schools Athletic Association (CISAA), a league made up of independent schools from across Ontario. They play a 10-12 game regular season schedule, plus playoffs. We supplement the league schedule with exhibition games as well as one local tournament, for a total of approximately 20 games each season.

Development

• Between games, practices and off-ice sessions, the teams are together at least five times per week – typically on the ice four times. This provides an ideal ratio of two practices to every game day.
• Off-ice training programs are designed to develop strength, conditioning and, most importantly, overall athletic ability.
• A built-in video system in our rink is used for honing team systems and tactics.
• Support for players interested in pursuing hockey after TCS is provided.
• Dedicated goalie sessions with a goalie coach are provided.

Facilities

We are very fortunate to have our own arena on campus. The Peter Campbell Memorial Rink provides us ample ice time to support three teams and the Bigside (Varsity) and Middleside (Junior Varsity) team have a dedicated dressing room with individual compartments (“stalls”) for players to store equipment for the season. The rink is often available during the day, after school and on weekends for informal practice and shinny sessions.

TCS’s athletic facilities also include eight full-size multi-purpose fields for football, soccer, rugby, cricket and field hockey, an indoor pool and a 5km cross-country running course that hosted the 2002 and 2017 Ontario high school championships. Our new athletic centre (2017) includes such facilities as a resistance and cardio training room, three new gymnasiums (for a total of five) and two new squash courts (for a total of five), in addition to classroom, changeroom and office space. There is ample opportunity for our hockey players to train both in and out of season. TCS also has a new, state-of-the-art physiotherapy clinic on campus, staffed full time by two certified athletic therapists.

Athletes

Our coaching staff works diligently to identify student-athletes who we feel will fit into our school program. Above all, we look for hockey players who are strong academically and can handle the rigours of a full hockey schedule and a complete academic program. We also believe that good hockey players are born from good athletes – athletes who can excel in different sports – and all of our players are expected to be contributors on both fall and spring teams.

Trinity College School’s Bigside (varsity) girls’ hockey program is for high-performance student-athletes and is open to all grades 9-12. The program is designed to develop the player’s hockey skills and nurture academic excellence to facilitate future academic and athletic goals.

Winter Training

The opening of the Chauvin Rowing Room in January 2011 marked the start of a formal winter training program to support the spring rowing season. The room itself houses 15 rowing machines and a space for the athletes to complete a series of core based conditioning activities. In addition to using this space, those athletes training in the winter also travel to Trent University to use their indoor rowing tank to simulate “on water” rowing.

Spring Competition

At the junior level, the rowing program strives to provide the opportunity for students to learn basic technical skills, become introduced to racing and take pride in becoming part of a team. As members of the team move to the senior ranks, the focus shifts to a training regimen that has a greater level of intensity with the goal of ultimately experiencing high level competition at our national championships regatta – the Canadian Secondary Schools Rowing Association Championships (CSSRA).
