Off-season programs run by TPH St. Louis — separate and distinct from the full-time Academy.
Please note: the programs on this page are off-season offerings and are entirely separate from TPH St. Louis Academy. Participation in a summer program is not enrollment in the Academy, and Academy admission is not required to be invited.
Since our founding, TPH St. Louis has run a high-performance summer training environment for motivated players committed to development through the off-season. Participation is by invitation only.
Players must be competing at the Tier 1 AAA level to be considered. Invitations are typically sent in March for the upcoming summer. Groups have historically filled quickly.
June and July at the Centene Community Ice Center — twice-weekly on-ice sessions in small, capped groups organized by birth year, from youth through midget, plus a dedicated group for players competing at the junior level.
Sessions are led on ice by the TPH St. Louis hockey staff — the same coaches who run daily development inside the Academy.
We focus on foundational skills that transfer to higher levels — through focused, high-attention-to-detail, quality repetition with a large emphasis on form, technique, and proper habits. Players learn when, where, and why to use skills and concepts, and are given high-frequency game-situation opportunities to recognize, use, and execute them — building well-rounded players who continue improving long after the summer ends.
