Note from
General Manager / Coach
Brad Buetow
I am thrilled to manage and to coach a select team of skilled players from my JPS Showcase Program this summer in Sweden. It is an honor to combine exposure and training forces with Planet Hockey and to provide not only an incredible opportunity for my players, but an unforgettable family hockey experience as well. I look forward to sharing this amazing hockey experience with the Team JPS Selects players and families.
If I have recruited you...welcome aboard. If you are considering joining us and/or have questions, please contact me.
We are counting down the days..."
