New Frontier Selects Prep School Academy coming to L.A. to provide top-notch education-based elite hockey program As the game of hockey continues to grow at a rapid pace in California, the new Frontier Selects program kicking off in 2024-25 is another notch on the list of high-end programs elite calling the Golden State home. Jason Stewart, president of hockey operations for Frontier Selects, said coming to California is a natural fit for the program. “The longer you work in the hockey world, you come to realize how interconnected this environment is and having over 20 years experience as an educator, coach, academy owner, league executive member and scout, I’ve come to develop an extensive network,” Stewart said. “This network opened up the opportunity in Southern California by introducing me to some specific individuals in the area and led me down the path of exploring the education based hockey model in California. With my previous experience as a high school educator and academy program owner and operator in the Canadian Sports School Hockey League, I soon realized the opportunity in front of me here in California that would allow
me to utilize my strengths and experience to help support and hopefully strengthen a niche market for hockey in the area.” Stewart said his vision for the Frontier Selects in California has both short-term and long-term goals. “I am a major advocate for education-based hockey at the youth level as I feel it provides an unparalleled opportunity to work with youth and combine their passion for sport into their daily educational experience,” said Stewart. “This opportunity allows you to develop and strengthen both the academic and athletics abilities of student-athletes by blending their passion into a holistic development model. In short, our goal as a program is to establish ourselves and our unique developmental approach in the local California hockey landscape. As things progress, we want to show local hockey markets that they can stay home in California and be provided with an opportunity to develop and compete against some of the top North American academy programs.”
