The teenagers have been waiting for the education ministry to issue their eligibility certificates so they can study in English as they requested.
On Friday, the wait was over. The six boys arrived at Saint-Patrick's High School smiling widely at their classmates who were eager to meet them.
The students' Canadian sponsor, Sean Berube, the boys' billet families and the school say everyone worked very hard to ensure the students could take their place in class and it's time to celebrate.
One player, Maksym Shtepa said he is glad to be settled now.
"I am really happy that we are starting school and we met a lot of people. It's how we wanted – here is like a big difference between schools in Ukraine and here," he said.
Saint-Patrick's principal, Julien Duchamp said the entire school and community is thrilled to have the group there.
