21 TPH Trained Players Selected in USHL Draft

Twenty-one of the players selected by USHL franchises are TPH-trained players through the Center of Excellence, the eight-week summer progressional program, Michigan Hockey Advancement or the TPH OHL Cup tournament team. Thirteen of those are student-athletes currently or previously enrolled in the TPH CoE in Canton and Hazel Park.

Over the course of the last two USHL Drafts, 27 TPH Center of Excellence student-athletes have been claimed by USHL teams. The TPH Detroit staff has seen 67 players in the 1996-2001 birth-years enter the CoE program since 2014, and 43 of them have either been drafted or already rostered on a junior league team. That’s 64 percent of the total count, with many more players expected to get their chance soon, too.

“The TPH Detroit staff is incredibly proud of the student-athletes selected in this week’s USHL Draft,” said TPH Detroit director Brandon Naurato. “These players work tremendously hard to create these opportunities for themselves, and we’re just here to help them along the way. They have earned this recognition and these chances to take their careers to the next level – we can’t wait to see what they do when they get there.”
