About Venom HC
Venom HC is committed to building a culture of excellence, grounded in the values of integrity, self-discipline, and dedication both on and off the ice. Our program is designed to provide an environment where athletes can develop their skills, showcase their talents, and fully embrace the importance of hard work, while thriving in a team-oriented atmosphere.
The Venom Hockey Club proudly calls two premier facilities in Abbotsford its home and practice rinks: the Summit Centre and the Rogers Forum. The Summit Centre provides a dedicated space for training and team development, fostering a strong sense of community and teamwork among players. Meanwhile, the Rogers Forum, home to the AHL Abbotsford Canucks, offers a professional-grade environment that inspires players to reach new heights in their game. This dual access to state-of-the-art venues not only enhances the club's training opportunities but also solidifies its commitment to excellence in hockey.
At Venom HC, we see hockey as more than just a sport—it’s a powerful vehicle for shaping the character of young athletes. Our mission is to deliver a professional hockey experience that prepares players for the next level of competition. This includes elite-level training, expert coaching, specialized dryland workouts, high-profile tournament exposure, and a strong focus on individual player development. Through this holistic approach, we aim to equip each player with the skills, mindset, and leadership qualities needed to succeed both on the ice and in life.
