Cuyahoga Valley Christian Academy (CVCA) is a private, college preparatory, non-denominational, Christian junior high and high school in Northeast Ohio. The CVCA Royals Ice Hockey Team is a OHSAA sanctioned varsity team that plays in the Greater Cleveland High School Hockey League. The Royals have played in the Blue Division since their inception in 1999 but will be moving up to the more highly competitive White East Division for the 2012-2013 season. The home rink for the Royals is the Kent State Ice Arena.
The Royals hockey team, under the CVCA Core Values, and the CVCA Athletic Philosophy seek to honor God through the pursuit of excellence on and off the ice while training Godly servant leaders. The team's verse comes from Romans 12:1 "Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God - this is your spiritual act of worship". Worshiping God in everything we do - including hockey - is the ultimate goal of CVCA Royals Hockey.
We believe all CVCA athletes should be diligent in preparation, relentless in effort, disciplined by nature, respectful in actions, self-controlled with words, humble in spirit, and aggressive in pursuit of excellence, without regard to the score, opponent, time, referee, etc. As Christian athletes display these characteristics, good things usually happen: teams are successful, players are motivated, fans are supportive and enthusiastic, parents are proud, prospective athletes want to participate, and very often non-believers are drawn to Christ. This is what Royals Hockey is all about!
