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.

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.

TPH Announces Tier I (AAA) Approval for Nashville Jr. Predators and Southeast Blades for 2025-2026 Season
Nashville, TN & Atlanta, GA — TPH is thrilled to announce that the Southern Amateur Hockey Association (SAHA) and USA Hockey have officially approved the Nashville Jr. Predators and the Southeast Blades as Tier I (AAA) hockey associations for the 2025-2026 season. This significant milestone reflects a growing commitment to elevating youth hockey in the Southeast, providing top-tier opportunities for local athletes to compete at the highest level without leaving their communities.
TPH extends its gratitude to the SAHA Tier I Committee, SAHA Board Members, and dedicated volunteers for their thorough review and support throughout this process. Their dedication ensures that young hockey players across the region can pursue their dreams in an elite environment close to home.
“This is a significant step for Tier I hockey within SAHA as NJP transitions to a Nashville-based model,” shared JP Dumont, NJP Program Director. “The NHL Nashville Predators have done an incredible job growing the game not only in Nashville but throughout the SAHA affiliate, and our mission with NJP remains to Develop, Impact, and Guide our athletes beyond the game.”
TPH is excited to collaborate with all SAHA associations to provide every player access to Tier I hockey and continue developing athletes for success in and beyond hockey. Over the past 20 years of operating Tier I (AAA) programs, including the Nashville Jr. Predators and Thunder AAA Hockey Club, TPH has helped over 300 student-athletes advance to junior leagues like the USHL, OHL, and NAHL, and more than 150 student-athletes to NCAA collegiate hockey.
