At NorthStar, faith is not just taught — it’s lived and shared. Through chapel services, guest speakers, and personal testimonies from players, parents, and staff, we see the Gospel at work in real and meaningful ways. These stories reflect the spiritual growth taking place in our program and the trust families place in NorthStar as we walk alongside their sons—on the ice, in the classroom, and in their faith journey.

“The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit.” — Psalm 34:18

Together, Cam and Charlie reflect on the story of the rich young ruler and how it has challenged and shaped their walks with Christ.

Parent Testimonies
“We were incredibly blessed to have had Northstar Christian Academy part of our family’s lives for four years. What we thought would grow our sons through hockey ended up growing our whole family in faith and love. Northstar is so much more than just a hockey program-it’s a life-changing experience and we saw that when we dropped our sons off as boys and picked them up nine months later as men. We are incredibly grateful to God for this program and the seeds that will continue to bear fruit for years to come!”
-The Hjelm Family
