When Dominic Lupo starts high school in the fall he will be attending St. Andrew’s College on a bursary.
The Nottawa teen said he is super excited to attend the school, his father’s alma mater, and will prioritize academics but will also continue on his elite hockey development path as he moves into a draft position for the OHL next year.
Having been on the ice since the age of two, Lupo, son of Collingwood Blues Goalie Coach Alessandro Lupo, will play prep hockey for St. Andrew’s College.
Also a goalie, Lupo started playing for Collingwood Minor Hockey before moving to Triple A teams in Barrie then Orillia.
Lupo is entering his fifth year of AAA. In June of 2026, he was invited by 912 Selects to play in the East Coast Kings Showdown which is a NCAA Division 1 recruitment showcase in Providence Rhode Island. In May of 2026 he was asked to play in the World Select Invitationals in Stockholm, Sweden. His team made it to the quarter finals losing against Team Sweden.
The last four seasons he has been playing on a relatively under skilled team (North Central Predators) where he and his teammates made it into the OMHA finals two out of the last four years.
On a typical day Lupo, 14, is up early for a workout and ice time, even in the summer. For fun, he golfs. As part of the application process to the school, Lupo underwent testing, and a panel interview.
“I am super proud to be able to get into St. Andrew’s on a bursary and to have passed the test to get into the school,” said Lupo.
He said he has to balance hockey and school but is ultimately hoping for a Division 1 scholarship to any university in order to continue to play hockey.
