Career Mentorship and Support
A key objective of the PHPA Alumni Network is to serve as an outreach program to support all players who are now transitioning to another phase of their life. Many former players who have since built successful careers are eager to help and support members of the hockey family.
If you would like to speak directly with a representative from the PHPA Alumni Network about mentorship opportunities, career support, or a potential corporate partner program, please feel contact Darryl Dionne at ddionne@phpa.com and include your name, phone number, and a brief description outlining your career objectives and any areas where you feel we can be of assistance to you.
Thank you for being part of the PHPA Alumni Network. We look forward to being of service to you!
