Hockey Academy

Building Elite Athletes and Future Leaders

Presented by Conor Oakley, elite athlete and founder of Forged Fitness

The Hintonburg Hockey Academy was founded by Conor Oakley in 2022 inspired by 15 years of playing elite level hockey in the Toronto Region for the St. Michaels Buzzers Jr. A team. Conor played hockey alongside many notable NHL stars such as: Tyler Seguin, Reilly Smith, Max Domi, Darnell Nurse, Connor Brown and more.

After being pursued by multiple NCAA schools, Conor’s life changed forever before his senior year. While playing in a summer lacrosse game, he suffered a severe brain bleed after being hit to the head, that left him with temporary amnesia and ended his hockey career.

For a while, Conor thought his hockey dream was over. Until he moved to Ottawa, and fell in love with the game again when he began training youth teams in the area.

Conor offers both in-season off ice training packages, as well as 3 summer hockey camps for individual attendees.
