PuCKS offers Langley boys and girls in-need (ages 10-16) an opportunity to become "hockey scholars”. PuCKS' hockey scholars usually need financial support and sometimes need help re-settling into Canada from elsewhere in the world.

Each year, a cohort of 20-30 Langley kids register in PuCKS 4-year "Power Nation Program" where each week they attend 2 hours of on-ice hockey instruction and 5 hours of Lit-Fit © (afterschool homework & literacy club).

They are mentored in both divisions by Trinity Western University and Kwantlen Polytechnic University student-athletes and by Langley RIvermen Jr. A hockey players.

After these 4 years, PuCKS hockey scholars graduate at convocation ~ some of whom graduate with "distinction". Hockey scholars with distinction are true PuCKS ambassadors who have demonstrated sustained dedication and effort throughout the 4 years they participated in the Power Nation Program.

Distinguished Power Nation hockey scholars are rewarded with entry into PuCKS Adopt-a-Player Program where they receive a sponsored scholarship into either Langley Minor Hockey (LMHA), Langley Girls Ice Hockey Association (LGIHA) or the Fraser Valley Christian Junior Hockey Association (FVCJHA).

In June, at the end of each season, hockey-scholars prepare their annual “Accountability Contract” that includes their season's successes and their education, community & hockey goals for next season. This contract is submitted to PuCKS Board of Directors for approval.

Power Nation is currently held in Langley City. Plans are underway to expand the program to southern, central and northern Langley areas (to keep within walking distance for the kids).

PuCKS goal is to expand into many communities across British Columbia (and beyond).

PuCKS is governed by Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) requirements of charities. To that end, PuCKS Scholars must meet eligibility requirements, complete various forms & be approved for entry by the Board. Completed forms must be signed and sent to the Director of Operations (see: Application Forms).
