The Experience
TPH Tours and Teams experience presents an unparalleled 8-10-day combination of short-term hockey, familial connections, and life-enriching adventures. Immerse yourself in a world where hockey education, global competition, and the creation of lasting memories converge across the stunning backdrop of world-class European destinations. Tours and Teams is open to 2009-2014 birth year skaters, goalies, and their families who are eager to embrace The TPH Way while taking to the ice on European soil.
As my son had never traveled outside North America before, nothing could prepare him for the unique environments and customs that international travel can offer these young men. While my son and I thoroughly enjoyed the Italian sights and culinary fare (to this day he reminisces about the gelato and European candy), his favorite aspect of the trip by far was meeting and getting to know his teammates. Since the kids were from other TPH locations and/or travel teams, I felt that they had a great respect for each other and the game itself.
When it was time to play, they all got along really well, and when it was time to work, they all worked hard! They seemed to bond quickly over their shared love of hockey (and lawn soccer) and were supportive of each other as a result...Most importantly, my son feels very strongly that the trip helped him develop his own game back home.

The APPROACH
[Gavin] had an absolutely great time, met some new friends, and learned a ton about hockey and what it takes to play at the next level. This was the best, most put together tournament/event we’ve done and we couldn’t be more happy we participated. If we ever get invited to do this again with TPH, we definitely will!
Dave Stone, father of Gavin
The TPH Way involves quality coaching, meticulous preparation, and team building that allows our players to come together, grow their individual games, and take on the look and feel of a team as quickly as possible. Along the way, parents can sit back, take in the sights, and watch as the individual and collective development process takes shape. We call this The TPH Way, developed from our team's decades of experience playing and coaching in youth, junior, and professional short-term events.
When it’s time to switch "ON" to hockey, we’ll ask our players to do just that, and you can expect that our coaches will be ready to lead the way in this area.
There will be no surprises- players and families will know where to be and when to be there, and as a result, will have every opportunity to maximize their free time.
Our 5 Back – 5 Attack Connected on-ice approach will allow players to maximize their skill sets within a team concept.
Organized, purposeful practices will take place, allowing the coaches the opportunity to put the team in the best position to succeed once the tournament starts.
Pre-tournament exhibition games provide players with every opportunity to build chemistry, work out the kinks, and prepare for success come game #1.
Pro-style video sessions support TPH’s commitment to hockey education and help accelerate individual and collective growth throughout the week.
Both structured and spontaneous team activities help players develop familiarity, create synergy, and build relationships that have the potential to last a lifetime.

The OFFERING
During the past two years with TPH Tours and teams, as well as the five years prior serving on the staff of the Latvian Under 20 National Team, I’ve had the pleasure of combining three of my passions in life: hockey, coaching, and international travel. The TPH Tours and Teams Experience offers ten straight days of intense hockey, incredible sights, and quality time with fellow teammates and family members that just can’t be replicated anywhere else. There’s nothing quite like hockey on international soil!”
