TPH Brings Their Study, Train, Play Academy Experience Home to London, Ontario

This fall of 2023, London, Ontario’s Total Package Hockey and Total Package Speed, Strength & Conditioning are bringing back the Study, Train, Play academy experience to London and the surrounding area. This time, following the reuniting of TPH teams north and south of the border, the experience will take the form of the world-leading TPH Academy. TPH Academy London will be housed within the company’s space at Western Fair Sports Centre. 

A wildly successful program built on a foundation of authentic relationships with families, TPH Academy London will continue to operate as the same programme known and loved by those in the region, with the addition of TPH Academy’s resources to elevate the student-athlete experience.

Alan Keeso, CEO, TPH Academy

“We’re thrilled to be bringing the TPH Academy experience to London, Ontario,” shared TPH CEO, Alan Keeso. “Total Package Hockey and the TPH Training Centre are widely recognized brands that have contributed to the development of many high-level hockey players out of London and surrounding area. Dwayne Blais and Kevin Galerno have built TPH London on a foundation of dedication to fostering genuine, strong relationships with the families and aspiring hockey players they serve. With that foundation already in place, adding academic and holistic development elements is a natural fit for London families.”

TPH Academy London student-athletes can expect a flexible, mastery-based academic programme, combining virtual learning with in-person, on-site academic support and facilitation. Student-athletes will earn their academic credentials through Blyth Academy’s courseware and with TPH Academy’s supervision and facilitation. Whether in the TPH Academy classroom or on the move for sports travel, student-athletes have access to their academic coursework and TPH learning guides. With a comprehensive course catalogue including university prep courses, foreign languages and a wide range of elective course offerings, TPH Academy London students are well-positioned to receive a world-class, Ontario-certified education all while pursuing their athletic goals.

“As Ontario has opened up, we’re excited to be back with the addition of TPH Academy’s Study, Train, Play model,” said TPH London Founder, Dwayne Blais. “While we continue to deliver the trusted, leading edge hockey and sports training that London and surrounding area families have come to enjoy, we’re confident that our families will appreciate the academic, athletic, and mentorship components TPH Academy brings to youth sports and development. The holistic approach further emphasizes our mission to develop each and every athlete that comes through the programme with care, individualized guidance, and support.”

TPH Academy’s core purpose is to advance – in and beyond the game – the next generation of impact players. Acknowledging Ontario’s deep hockey roots, TPH Academy London will continue to contribute to the development of high-profile hockey players through on-ice instruction and off-ice, sport-specific training.
