The Parkland Athletic Club, or PAC Saints, is a not-for-profit club offering AA and AAA hockey programs in the Parkland County area. We are a sub-committee reporting to Spruce Grove Minor Hockey Association (SGMHA). Our objective is to provide young hockey players with a high-quality, elite hockey experience that promotes both hockey and life skills development. We are responsible to achieve this in a safe, challenging, and fun environment.
The PAC Saints are a grassroots organization with a strong commitment to our communities, players, and our families. We rely on the support of local businesses, volunteers, and families to make our program successful. Our partnering providers are also a part of our communities.
Depending on the Division/Level, our Association is comprised of players from the following Draw Zone Minor Hockey Associations:

Our teams’ practices are primarily based in rinks within Spruce Grove but may extend to other facilities in the vicinity (ex. Calahoo, Enoch). Home games are played out of the Grant Fuhr Arena, Transalta TriLeisure Centre or Glenn Hall Arena. Opening in 2025, our teams will also be using the brand new Heavy Metal Place facility.

Commitment
We aim to build success at all levels – Individual, Team, and Association-wide. We define success as the ability for teams to be competitive in all games, while providing opportunities for all players to develop in all situations and to improve throughout the season.
This is promoted by our division structure that allows us to maximize the number of players we are exposing to Elite hockey. It is also achieved by establishing a strong connection and culture amongst our teams, players, coaches and committee members.

Our program starts with a strong Coaching staff consisting of experienced Head and Assistant Coaches, Goalie-focused coaches and a Trainer (for contact divisions) supported by the Team Manager and multiple other volunteer positions. Additionally, PAC partners with multiple private vendors to offer specialized programming to promote holistic player development.
Each Division is supported by a Level Director with additional support provided by the Club’s Chair, Past-Chair, Vice President of Operations and the Manager Director.
Team Trainers report to the PAC Head Trainer to ensure the highest level of player safety, injury management and return to play.
