The Professional Hockey Players’ Association (PHPA) is pleased to announce that the 2018 PHPA Annual Meeting of Player Representatives will be hosted at the Wyndham Lake Buena Vista Disney Springs Resort in Orlando, Florida from June 18 – 22, 2018. 

The annual week-long series of meetings affords PHPA Player Representatives, Executive Committee members, staff, and Advisors the opportunity to review the Association’s operations during past year, plan for the upcoming season, as well as provide input and direction with respect to long-term strategic objectives.

During the meetings, one Player Representative from each American Hockey League (AHL) and ECHL team participate in open discussion on a variety of Collective Bargaining and other League and PHPA issues.  Players gain valuable information on the Business Operations of the PHPA, hear from expert attorneys with respect to Hockey Operations and workers’ compensation issues, and perhaps most unique, players are encouraged to bring forth any items or issues during a closed-door interactive meeting with their respective League President / Commissioner. 

The PHPA Golf Outing Presented by BFL CANADA Risk & Insurance Services, Inc. will take place Thursday, June 21^st with the Closing Banquet held the following evening where the PHPA will present Bob Riley with the 2018 Curt Leichner Distinguished Member Award, followed by a performance from world renown hypnotist Danny Zzzz!
