HISTORY

Established in 2014, the Sturgeon Sting AA Hockey Program brings together elite players from seven minor hockey associations across Sturgeon County and the surrounding region. These associations include:

• CR Knights Minor Hockey Association (Calahoo, Riviere Qui Barre, and surrounding area)
• CNN Minor Hockey Association (Bon Accord, Gibbons, and surrounding area)
• Athabasca & District Minor Hockey Association
• Westlock Minor Hockey Association
• Barrhead Minor Hockey Association
• Wabasca/Desmarais Minor Hockey Association
• Sturgeon Hockey Club (Morinville, Legal, and surrounding areas within Sturgeon County)

The Sting AA Program is committed to developing athletes for success at the next level, whether that’s AAA, Junior, or College hockey. Our focus is on building foundational skills, habits, and hockey IQ through high-level coaching and a structured development model.  More than just on-ice success, the program emphasizes character, leadership, and a “team-first” culture. Sting athletes are encouraged to work hard, support each other, and grow as confident, resilient individuals both on and off the ice. That’s what it means to be part of the Sting family!
