Canada Day meant a little more this year with the celebration of Canada's 150th. And what's more Canadian than hockey? Recently a few Okanagan Peak Performance Inc clients have been suiting up for Canada in international play.Alex SwetlikoffWe've had the privilege of working with Alex Swetlikoff for a number of years now going back.

All his hard work and the positive example of those before him is starting to pay off. He had a great experience at Yale Academy in Abbotsford and has now committed to play for the University of Denver (NCAA Div 1) after high school.
