My son has been participating in the Beaumont Hockey Academy (BHA) for the past four years. The academy has helped
develop his hockey skills as well as provide a source of team spirit, culture and enthusiasm for the sport. As a parent, I am
extremely satisfied with the specialized high level hockey skills and principles the program is providing. It’s exciting to witness
the development of not only my son but all players that receive the high energy and well organized training provided by a staff
who lead by example in their professionalism and passion for the sport. When I asked my son what he likes about BHA? he
said...” I love going because the coaches are fun and teach me new things every week so I can be a better hockey player”. I
recommend this program to any player interested in improving their hockey skills and elevating their game to another level.

Doug Horvat (parent)

As a past player in the Beaumont Hockey Academy, I would say it is very beneficial for young hockey players who aspire to
get to the next level. The Beaumont Hockey Academy gave me the skills and tools necessary for me to elevate my game to
play at a high level and I’m sure it would do the same for others. The Serdachny instructors run an excellent program with
great coaches who are extremely supportive and are driven to help each kid get to the next level. I have enjoyed every minute
I was on the ice at BHA and I would definitely return to it.
Ryder Matter (Grade 9 Student, alumnus, LJAC BAA)

As a former player in the Beaumont Hockey Academy, I would say the program greatly benefitted me. It gave me the extra ice
time to work with knowledgeable coaches on the skills necessary to get me to the next level. All of the coaches under
Serdachny Hockey are super supportive, encouraging, and are willing to help each player achieve their goals. I really enjoyed
my years at BHA, and I would definitely recommend it to other families.

Elementary and Junior High hockey bags and sticks are to be dropped off, before school. A storage
area within the school will be defined. Students are requested to use soft, foldable, over the shoulder
bags when travelling with equipment to and from the arena via bus (i.e. No “Grit” bags or wheel type

normal hours of programming, outside of the town of Beaumont, or for any activity where BHA deems it
is necessary for parental/guardian approval, a Field Trip form will be posted on PowerSchool for
completion.

grouping may be determined by attending school(s), group sizes, age level, grade level, skill-set,

teachers and BHA instructors.

5.0 ACADEMIC AND ATHLETIC DEVELOPMENT

Students registering for the BHA program are to maintain a minimum grade of 65% in all core subjects.
They must also be in excellent standing with regards to their behavior. It will up to each individual
school to enforce their school site expectations. All Beaumont schools involved in BHA will make their
best efforts to protect the core subjects from being scheduled during BHA instruction. When not
participating in BHA, students will receive classroom instruction.

Assessment:
Core subjects will follow regular assessment routines. BHA students will be assessed by the
supervising Black Gold teacher and receive a performance grade reflected on their term 1 and 2 report
card based on: participation, attitude, behavior and work ethic. In addition, any time you wish to speak
with a member of the instruction team, please advise the Black Gold Supervising teacher and a
meeting will be arranged. The Serdachny group of instructors are approachable and committed to
ensure that every student is developing and enjoying the BHA experience.

      is a priority. If you are having academic concerns please discuss options with attending school.

Dylan Dellezay           I am currently the teacher instructor of BHA, administrator of the BHA program and
Assistant Principal at École Coloniale Estates School.

Coaching/Instruction Experience
I am currently the head coach of my son’s Pee Wee AA team. I am also serving on BAHA board in the Midget
Director position. In the past, I have served as an assistant coach with the Leduc “Bantam AAA” Oil Kings from
2011-2013 and an assistant coach for the Leduc “Midget AAA” Oil Kings. I have been quite involved in coaching
various community and school sports in the past 17 years which include Timbits soccer, Minor Baseball, Mini-

Playing Experience
I began playing minor hockey in Beaumont at age 6 and played in Beaumont until I was 15 for the Bantam A
Beaumont Braves. I went on to play Midget AAA for the Leduc Firebirds and then spent 2 years playing in the
Alberta Junior Hockey League (AJHL) with the Sherwood Park Crusaders. After my second year of junior with
Sherwood Park, I received an NCAA Division I hockey scholarship to the University of New Hampshire and
received a Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology. I returned to the area in 1999, completed a Bachelor of
Education degree and played the next 10 years with the Stony Plain Eagles winning a national championship
(Allan Cup) in 1999. I since have completed a Master’s in Education - Administrative Leadership through the

against Strathcona, where I received a separated shoulder from Jay Bouwmeester. I left St. Paul to play two
years of Midget AAA for the Northeast Panthers (RAMMHL). While pursuing my Education degree at Grant
MacEwan/U of A, I also travelled back and forth from Edmonton to play four years for the St. Paul Jr. B
