The Merchants have implemented a hockey program that is developmental and competitive, a program where players can develop hockey and life skills in harmony while maintaining a competitive brand of hockey. Players can live at home and play competitive junior hockey, yet are able to work, go to school or attend academic institutions. The St. Albert Merchants are a strong supporter of post secondary education and as such make available bursaries to qualifying players for Community Service Recognition Award sponsored by the Cosmopolitan Club of Edmonton.

In addition, the Merchants hockey club is committed to being involved with and giving back to the community, donating time and support of many community initiatives. In recent seasons the players and hockey club have supported the Community Village and Food Bank, Kinettes Club of St. Albert, Special Olympics, Bell Let's Talk, Kidsport St. Albert, SAMHA hockey mentorship & Raiders AA U13. 

The Merchants have also won the Alberta Association for Community Living’s (AACL) Community Living Award and continue to provide mentorship to those with various disabilities.

We Appreciate and Thank you for your Support!
