By The Numbers: 2020 USHL Draft
Every draft we always look back over the selections and break down the data. The goal is to understand who the teams and their scouts believe are ready for the next level. The data helps understand how to best prepare our TPH student-athletes. Below is some of the details from our staff’s analysis.
Birth Year Distribution
As you can see from the distribution, 141 (61.1%) of those selected were 2001 and 2002 birth years.
Association Level Distribution
Junior League Distribution
Youth League Distribution
This year, 76.5% of the draft pick were selected from a team associated in a league rather than an independent.
Help Us Shield Our Communities
TPH and the Center of Excellence offer a selective environment for the aspiring elite athlete. Part of the selective environment is mentoring our athletes to become better versions of themselves. A big piece of this growth includes serving the communities!
We are launching the Shield Our Communities fundraiser. TPH students across the country will be raising money to purchase medical face shields made by our good friends at Sparx Hockey. The goal is to provide these shields to organizations in need in each local community. Students will have the opportunity to safely deliver the shields to the selected local organizations. Organizations like Police Departments, Fire Departments, Nursing Homes or the like.
TPH is proud to partner with Sparx, a company who has repurposed their facilities to make these shields for first responders and essential workers across the country! Please help us achieve our goal and make a difference in the communities we call home! Together we can make a difference, in our communities and across the nation!
Our targeted goal would allow us to distribute over 1,000 face shields, distributed evenly, to the following local organizations:
- Atlanta | Emory University Department of Public Safety
- Colorado | Elizabeth Fire Station 271
- Detroit | Dearborn Heights Police Department
- Grand Rapids | Spectrum Health
- Huntsville | Huntsville Hospital System
- Indianapolis | Eskenzie Health of Indianapolis
- Nashville | Metro Nashville Office of Emergency Management

Brady Rappuhn Named 2019-20 Mr. Hockey Winner
The Michigan High School Hockey Coaches’ Association recognized their best performers of the 2019-20 season on Wednesday with their annual awards banquet. Of all the awards, the Mr. Hockey award is the biggest of them all. The Mr. Hockey Award is given to the top player in Michigan high school hockey. This year that honor was given to Saginaw Heritage senior captain, Brady Rappuhn.
This season Rappuhn became the all-time leader in Heritage Hockey with goals, assists, points, wins including 89 points in just the 28 total games this season. Outside of his high school experience, Rappuhn has competed with the Michigan Hockey Advancement (MHA) program at TPH Detroit.
“Brady is a great player because of his ability to make the players around him better” Stated JJ Bamberger (Saginaw Heritage Head Coach/ MHA Assistant Coach). “He also had it within himself to rise up and score goals in important moments.”
Michigan Hockey Advancement Director, Rick Gadwa, talked to us what separates Rappuhn from other great players is his character.
“Yes he can score, put his team on his back, make things happen on the ice, but what makes Brady special is his coachability. Brady is the kind of guy any coach dreams about having on their squad; a true leader that has the unique ability of putting the team before himself.”
“There’s not a more deserving player in the state than Brady Rappuhn. He has a bright future ahead of him”.
Rappuhn was leading his team to another state semifinal appearance when the tournament was cancelled due to COVID-19. We want to congratulate Brady on all of his achievements he and wish him success moving forward.
