THE SNIDER PATHWAY TO SUCCESS

Ultimate Goal

Ultimate Goal

Though hockey will always be a part of our students’ lives, we know that, as they mature, it may be a relatively smaller piece of a much bigger future. Ultimately, we strive to help our students build happy, productive lives as good citizens who are eager to pay forward the life-changing experiences they’ve had as members of the Snider community.
