FHIT Overview

Where Development
Meets Opportunity.

FHIT Hockey was built on a simple idea: give players access to the right environment, the right coaching, and the right structure, and they will improve.

Since 2005, FHIT Hockey has proven that approach by developing players who are motivated to get better, compete, and continue advancing in the game.

What Is FHIT Hockey?

FHIT Hockey is a player development program built on a clear philosophy:

A player’s growth is driven by their commitment, and FHIT Hockey’s job is to provide the environment that matches that commitment.

This means professional coaching, structured training, and a standard that supports motivated players. FHIT Hockey membership is not a recreational program. It is real development built for hockey players who are ready to train with purpose. In addition to membership, FHIT Hockey offers clinics, teams, and other training opportunities that are available to both members and non-members,

FHIT Hockey operates across four campuses in the Twin Cities metro area and western Wisconsin. As part of the MAP Hockey system, FHIT Hockey athletes train with the same professional coaching staff in the same facilities, where they have been developing hockey players for more than two decades.
