Hockey Development

Intelligent. Adaptable. Confident. Daily development built around how players actually see, process, and play the game.

How We Develop Players

We evaluate whether players succeed through intelligence — or through a dominant ability that won't be sustainable long term. Then we train the intelligence.

ON ICE

Scanning & Awareness

Looking and seeing before receiving the puck — trained through manipulated game situations with rules and restraints that force the habit.

ON ICE

Decision Making

Blocked training that progresses into forced game situations, then into organically seeing and doing — decisions at game speed.

ON ICE

Vision & Seeing

Small-area games and situational teaching that develop the vision separating good players from impact players.

DAILY

Every Rep Matters

Attention to detail and focus, every session. Students must be eligible — as a person and a student — to train each day.

Training Groups

Three training groups — Steen, O'Reilly, and Perron — of roughly 25 skaters and 5 goalies each, rotating through academics, ice, and gym every morning.

Built On

Hockey IQ, puck control, decision making, ability to process the game, overall skill level, and development fit.

Not Built On

Club team, outside level, age, or grade. Players train where they'll develop best — period.

Girls Development

A dedicated girls hockey program — detailed below.

Girls Hockey at TPH St. Louis

Our female student-athletes train, study, and are mentored by a coach still competing at the highest level of women's college hockey.

Josey Dunne Weeks, Coordinator of Girls Hockey COORDINATOR OF GIRLS HOCKEY

Josey Dunne Weeks

Active NCAA Division I defenseman at Lindenwood University. O'Fallon, Missouri native. Former captain of the Chicago Mission and a University of Minnesota transfer.

Why It Matters for Your Daughter

Josey has lived the exact pathway our female student-athletes are pursuing — elite Tier I club hockey, national-level competition, and Division I college hockey. She provides on-ice development, classroom support, and daily mentorship built specifically for girls in the program — and our girls train inside the only facility in the world that is also home to NCAA Division I women's hockey and Tier I AAA girls hockey.

Girls in the academy have advanced to NCAA programs, and our reigning Impact Player of the Year nominee class included female student-athletes leading through discipline, consistency, and mentorship of younger girls.
