Chapter 2
The Gold Room is located upstairs at the rink. It is the home of the Hasek’s Heroes student athlete experience off the ice.
Study Hours Dedicated, supervised time before and after practice for homework, school projects, and reading. Coaches and parents are present. Hockey books and creative materials are available. We care about the classroom as much as the ice — and this room proves it.
Coach Time Video review, chalkboard sessions, and hockey discussions that help players understand the game at a deeper level. Players who understand the why behind what they do are players who execute with confidence.
The Team Store Once a month the Gold Room becomes the Team Store. Players spend or save their Hero Bucks on gear, snacks, collectibles, and more. Their choice. Their money. Their lesson in decision-making.
Hero Bucks
Hero Bucks are how we make values visible and tangible.
Players earn Hero Bucks for effort at practice, great sportsmanship, academic performance, showing up on time, encouraging a teammate, and living out the five core values. Coaches recognize and reward the right behaviors in real time.
Academic Hero Bucks: - Monthly report card submission — bucks earned on the spot - Honor roll achievement — bonus bucks - Grade improvement from one period to the next — bonus bucks
Hero Bucks are spent or saved at the monthly Team Store. The choice to save teaches patience, goal-setting, and delayed gratification. The choice to spend rewards consistent effort. Both are wins.
