Joining the TPH St. Louis team in the fall of 2021, Heinzman brings more than his experience in the game of hockey, he brings knowledge and understanding of the path student-athletes from St. Louis are trying to set out on because the St. Louis native experienced it first-hand.

Heinzman grew up playing in Missouri with the Affton Americans, at Oakville High School, and with the St. Louis Jr. Blues before leaving the state. Following his time with the North Iowa Bulls, Heinzman returned home to study and play hockey at Lindenwood University for Rick Zombo. With a passion for the game, Heinzman continued to be involved in the St. Louis hockey community through skill training and coaching with CarShield AAA.
