Our Campus
The Centene Community Ice Center — a facility that provides students with every necessary resource and opportunity to develop and grow as a student, athlete, and person.
The Only Facility in the World
No other building on earth houses all of this under one roof.
St. Louis Blues
Official NHL practice facility — our students train where the pros train.
Division I Hockey
Home to both NCAA Division I men's and women's hockey programs.
AAA Hockey
Home to Tier I AAA boys and Tier I AAA girls hockey organizations.
NHL Alumni
NHL alumni are part of the building's daily fabric.
TPH St. Louis
The only sports academy in the world operating inside a facility like this.
One of the unique aspects of our Academy experience: students regularly cross paths with NHL players, NCAA Division I student-athletes, coaches, and hockey professionals as part of their normal day — in a building that welcomed 765,000+ visitors in 2025.
Expanding Our Home — Here Through 2032
TPH St. Louis has extended its lease at the Centene Community Ice Center through 2032 — a long-term investment in the future of our student-athletes.
The former Pure Hockey space inside CCIC is being transformed into the future headquarters of TPH St. Louis Hockey Academy — more academic space, more individualized support, and more quality reps. One location. One standard.
