A Personal Connection That Runs Deep
For our family, having WinSport so close has been truly life-changing.
Our daughters have trained on the hill for over 10 years, developing not only their athletic ability but also discipline, resilience, and confidence.
Our boys have played hockey at WinSport since the facilities first opened, benefiting from world-class ice and coaching environments.
All four of our children have attended the National Sport School, located right at WinSport—an experience that allowed them to balance academics with high-level athletic development in a way that simply wouldn’t be possible in most cities.
The PTC: High-Performance Training at Your Doorstep
Another standout feature is the Performance Training Centre (PTC) at WinSport.
This facility is one of the premier training environments in the country, offering:
Strength and conditioning programs
Sport-specific training
Injury prevention and recovery resources
Access to elite coaching and performance specialists
Our family has taken full advantage of the PTC over the years, and it’s been an incredible resource—not just for athletes, but for anyone looking to stay active and train at a higher level.
