Canada's sports industry is growing. Dozens of cities now have professional sports teams and franchises. In Ontario, there are over 25 professional teams in sports ranging from hockey to lacrosse to soccer. According to Statistics Canada, the Canadian sports sector generates around $8 billion a year and is growing.

The SHSM–Sports enables students to build a foundation of sector-knowledge and skills before graduating and entering apprenticeship training, college, university, or an entry-level position in the workplace. Depending on local circumstances, this SHSM may be designed to have a particular focus - for example, on sports management or sports media and broadcasting. This focus is achieved through the selection of the four major credits in the bundle (Ministry of Education, 2010).
