Driven to the Draft: 34 TPH Athletes Earn 2025 USHL Selections

Total Package Hockey (TPH) proudly congratulates 34 standout student-athletes on their selection in the 2025 United States Hockey League (USHL) Draft. These young men have earned their place in the premier junior hockey league in the United States through relentless work ethic, commitment to their craft, and a shared pursuit of excellence both on and off the ice. 

The USHL, recognized as a top junior hockey league in the U.S., consistently produces NCAA Division I and NHL talent. The league’s rigorous level of play provides a critical stepping stone for elite athletes looking to compete at the highest levels of the sport. Players in the 16-year-old age category (2009 birth years) are eligible to be selected in the 2025 Phase I Draft, and players in the 17-year-old age category through the 20-year-old age category are eligible to be selected in the Phase II Draft (2005-2008 birth years.) More information on the USHL Draft can be found here. 

This year’s draft featured a strong TPH presence with athletes from across TPH Academy Campuses and teams hearing their names called. Their selections are a testament to their growth, potential, and the development model at the heart of TPH. TPH is committed to developing the most intelligent, adaptable, and confident hockey players in the game. This draft is a celebration of each athlete’s commitment to growth, their drive to compete, and their belief in what’s possible. Being drafted is an incredible achievement—but it’s just the beginning. The work continues, the standard rises, and the opportunity to make an even greater impact begins now.

Total Package Hockey Celebrates Record-Setting Year with 17 Alumni Selected in 2025 OHL Draft

Total Package Hockey (TPH) proudly celebrates a landmark moment in its nearly 25-year history as seventeen incredible young athletes with ties to TPH made their mark on the 2025 Ontario Hockey League Draft, setting a new record for the most TPH-connected players selected in a single year.

This moment isn’t just a milestone- it’s a statement. A statement about what can happen when talented young athletes, driven families, dedicated coaches, and passionate mentors come together with one common goal—advancing impact players in and beyond the game.

The selections reflect a variety of journeys, paths, and backgrounds, unified by one core element: each player trusted TPH to be a part of their development. From wearing the Team TPH jersey in the OHL Cup to training daily at TPH academies across North America, each athlete brought their own story to the ice. Whether preparing between games, balancing academics and training, or pushing themselves in high-performance environments, these players earned every moment of this achievement.

Congratulations to the following athletes selected in the 2025 OHL Draft:

  • Landon Jackman (Round 2, Owen Sound Attack) – Detroit Little Caesars | TPH Academy St. Louis 
  • Mason Courville (Round 3, Flint Firebirds) – Wilkes-Barre Scranton Jr. Knights | Team TPH, OHL Cup

  • Robbie Matson (Round 15, Guelph Storm) – Bishop Kearney Selects | Team TPH, OHL Cup 
  • Cooper John (Round 15, Oshawa Generals) – Ohio AAA Blue Jackets | TPH Academy and Team TPH, OHL Cup 

We also acknowledge Patrik Ula (Round 7, Sudbury Wolves) and Sawyer Schmidt (Round 7, Saginaw Spirit), both of whom were originally selected for Team TPH. While they were unable to compete due to their club commitments at Nationals and an invitation to the USNTDP 40-man camp, respectively, we recognize the significance of their accomplishments and wish them continued success on their journeys.

This wave of success was also matched on the ice in team competition. Team TPH posted a perfect 4-0 record in tournament play and earned a berth in the quarterfinals—one of the most successful runs in program history.

This is one of the most meaningful wins in TPH history—not just in results, but in what it represents. To every athlete who put their trust in us, who trained with us, studied with us, and allowed us to be part of their story: thank you. This moment belongs to you. Your dedication, resilience, and impact are what truly define this milestone.
