Although these students will not be a part of a Hockey Canada National team program on this trip, they are students in the OKM Hockey Canada Skills Academy who will not only represent OKM but the province of British Columbia and Canada.
The Finnish School system is one of the most innovative when it comes to student learning. OKM students on this exchange have the opportunity to experience in the Finnish school environment.
