WELCOME TO PRIME HOCKEY
Develop Leaders. Create Opportunities. Enrich Lives.
The Prime Hockey Program was formed to give today’s top youth hockey players an opportunity to compete against, and develop alongside top hockey athletes around the world. Our teams are elite, invite-only rosters built to showcase the top youth players from across North America.
Our mission is to inspire hockey players to pursue their dreams to the fullest. We work to bring out the very best in every individual by providing unparalleled experiences that combine world-class competition and exposure to next-level opportunities while maintaining a singularly professional environment.
With over 23 years of experience working with top talent dating back to 2007, our staff has worked with hundreds of players drafted to the National Hockey League. More than 125 of those individuals are current or former NHL players with countless others in the Canadian Hockey League, World Junior Championships, U.S. National Team Development program and NCAA Division 1 Hockey.

FAQ
How does my child get invited to a Prime / Invite-only event?
Participants for our Prime teams (tours & tournaments) and other individual entry events are selected by our coaches and staff. In most cases, players are scouted in person and invited to participate in our programs. We also use feedback from our Spring coaches to determine player invitations for the following Spring/Summer. If you would like your child to be considered, please fill out the Inquiry form.
Who are the Prime coaches?
Our teams are coached by hockey professionals from a variety of hockey backgrounds who are independent (non-parent) and serve as positive role models for kids. We take our coaching staff selections seriously to maximize the experience for both our players and families.
