Prospect Exchange + TPH

The Prospect Exchange Joins the TPH Family

Total Package Hockey is pleased to announce that it has purchased majority ownership in The Prospect Exchange (TPE), a company founded to provide hockey players with exposure to a vast network of coaches and recruiters, through the use of cutting edge video and analytics.  In just over a year, The Prospect Exchange has become one of hockey’s most popular links for connecting players, coaches and recruiters, with a network that currently services thousands of players ages 14 -20.

 

“The vision of Total Package Hockey is to positively impact the lives of student-athletes through the game of hockey, and by purchasing majority ownership in The Prospect Exchange, we believe we are simply strengthening our commitment to that vision,” TPH CEO Nathan Bowen said.  “What John Becanic and his team have built in a short period of time has provided players with opportunities to be seen by coaches and scouts, at the click of a mouse, and has provided junior, college and professional organizations with the ability to evaluate a player without having to travel or spend exorbitant amounts of money to execute their scouting process.  For TPH to now become involved with TPE, from both an ownership and operations perspective, is a huge win for us as a hockey-service provider, and in time, will be a great benefit to our own student-athletes.”

 

In mentioning what “John Becanic and his team have built,” Bowen is referencing the efforts of TPE Co-Founders John Becanic and Michael Zucker.  Becanic, a veteran coach who manned benches at the Junior ‘A’ and Major Junior levels for over 30 years, founded his own consulting company, Pyramid Hockey, after retiring from coaching in 2016.  In 2018, Becanic and Zucker began building The Prospect Exchange with its official launch coming in September of 2019.  With a more than solid foundation under its feet, Becanic feels the time is right for The Prospect Exchange to take its next step, which in this case, means becoming part of the TPH family.

 

“TPH’s mission, vision and values align with The Prospect Exchange and that is the number one reason why we are here today,” Becanic said.  “As a coach, on a daily basis, I always preached the importance of getting better to my players.  Today’s announcement is simply an extension of that message.  By having The Prospect Exchange under TPH’s umbrella, we have the opportunity to not only continue doing what we have started, but work hand-in-hand with student-athletes in TPH’s twelve Centers of Excellence, as well as the two Tier I organizations TPH manages.  TPH is a growing company, with high-character leaders, a professional support team and infrastructure that will help TPE expand its reach and assist more players at climbing up the hockey ladder.”

 

Student-athletes who Study, Train and Play in TPH’s Center of Excellence model, as well as participate in various programs across TPH’s fifteen US-based divisions, will, in-time, have the opportunity to take full advantage of the cutting-edge resource that is The Prospect Exchange.  It is also important to note that The Prospect Exchange recently entered into a partnership with Hockey Tech, and its two biggest entities, Hockey TV and RinkNet.  This partnership further speaks to the quality, credibility and popularity of TPE.

 

In addition, Becanic, well-known across hockey circles for his ability to assist players in improving their hockey IQ through the use of video, will be a resource for TPH, it’s student-athletes, coaches and hockey development team.

 

“One of the main reasons why our company is where it is today is because we have been fortunate to align ourselves with terrific people,” Bowen added.  “John Becanic and Michael Zucker are just that- terrific people and outstanding hockey guys who had hustle, a pure vision and a genuine desire to help hockey players be scouted in an innovative, modern, cutting-edge manner, while saving families time and money.  We thank John and Michael for trusting us and we are thrilled to have The Prospect Exchange become a part of the TPH family.”
