Eliminating the 'Choice'

Quality Local hockey development
2022.01.08-Pittsburgh-Game3-35

While hockey is a sport that promotes character, hard work and team play, far too often, aspiring elite players feel rushed, and struggle to find playing situations where they can:

  • (1) pursue their academic and athletic goals at once,
  • (2) do so in an environment that offers them everything they need and so much of what they want in order to be successful, and
  • (3) remain at or close to home in the process.

The TPH-Florida Alliance partnership checks all the boxes, providing hockey players from across the state of Florida a high-level junior and college hockey experience, while allowing them to enjoy all the lifestyle benefits the Sunshine State has to offer.  Thanks to this partnership, Tier I hockey players from the state of Florida no longer need to stray outside their backyard for an opportunity to develop holistically, on and off the ice.
