THE BEST
HIGH SCHOOL HOCKEY PROSPECTS
IN MICHIGAN
Michigan Hockey Advancement (MHA) is high school hockey's premier split-season hockey program in the state of Michigan. Built by high school hockey coaches for high school hockey players to grow, develop, learn and earn next-level exposure to junior and college scouts.
MHA's split-season schedule and programming is built around the Michigan high school hockey calendar to develop prospects prior to the winter season. MHA teams compete against Tier-I AAA teams and academies at notable fall hockey events, showcase and tournaments. MHA teams also compete in Michigan Amateur Hockey Association's (MAHA) state tournament.

Why MHA
The difference between MHA and other options that Michigan high school players have, is that our teams compete against top-level competition. That, plus access to TPH's deep network of junior and college scouts. Plus, our teams play against AAA-caliber talent at some of the most scouted events in the fall, providing competition and exposure to help grow your game.
MHA teams remain together throughout the fall, learning and developing as a unit from some of the best coaches in high school hockey. Additionally, our Tier-2 teams compete in the Michigan Amateur Hockey Association (MAHA) state tournament as well. Both of our Tier-1 and Tier-2 teams rank among the best in the state.
THE PROCESS
MHA is comprised of 3 main events:
- MHA Tryouts (3 Tryout Skates)
- The MHA Showcase (3 Games, Educational Seminars, and Evaluations)
- MHA Fall Series (20-25 showcase/tournament games)
"The best split-season program in the state!"
Since 2015
BUILDING A LEGACY
The Michigan Hockey Advancement program is proud to be a platform that allows our athletes to gain exposure to the top junior leagues in North America. In only 8 seasons, the numbers speak for themselves.
