Our Mission

This involves comprehensive training sessions on and off the rink, and active participation in various tournaments throughout the year.

Beyond our core mission, we are equally dedicated to supporting the individual journeys of each athlete within the Tour OC Blades program. We recognize their unique talents, ambitons, and challenges, offering personalized coaching, tailored training, and access to resources to help them excel both in sports and in life. Our ultimate goal is to nurture well-rounded individuals equipped with essential life skills, resilience, and a strong sense of sportsmanship.
