What Our Academy Families Are Saying
"Without question, TPH Detroit has contributed greatly to our son’s hockey development over the past 2 years. He has matured and grown as a person, and we have witnessed clear, tangible improvements in his overall performance on the ice. Simply put, he is a different hockey player from the day he arrived at TPH Detroit. Our son’s passion for the game is higher than ever, and we are excited to watch him pursue his goal of playing higher level hockey in the future. Our sincere appreciation for the professionalism and efforts of the entire TPH Detroit staff!"

Manager of Operations & ProgrammingTPH Academy Detroit is located at Buffalo Wild Wings Arena (BWWA) in Troy, Michigan. BWWA is a modern, state-of-the-art facility that aligns perfectly with TPH’s commitment to providing an elite environment for academic and athletic development. With four rinks and a reputation as Southeast Michigan’s premier hockey venue, BWWA attracts consistent traffic from Junior and collegiate scouts, creating increased exposure for our athletes. The facility’s hockey-first focus enhances our ability to deliver on the TPH mission of Study, Train, Play, and allows student-athletes to train in an environment built for growth.
Working with the facility and Steelcase, we have designed spaces that provide a comfortable and productive environment for all types of learners. Our space has everything our student-athletes have everything they need to truly take ownership of their development, including:
BUILDING THE TPH
TPH Academy is designed for aspiring elite student-athletes willing to invest their time and effort in personal growth. At TPH, we recognize that individual skill development often gets neglected because of busy competition schedules, limited access to facilities after academic hours, and team-centric coaching. TPH focuses on long-term student-athlete development by providing opportunities that help each individual discover new levels of potential.
