Hockey Pathway.

About Us

Who We Are

For the Love of Hockey is a mission-driven organization focused on advancing the growth of hockey across the state of Florida.

We are building the foundation for a complete, in-state development system — from youth participation to collegiate competition and beyond.

Our Purpose

To expand access to the game, strengthen player development, and create sustainable opportunities for athletes to compete and grow within Florida.

Our Vision

To establish Florida’s first NCAA Division I men’s and women’s hockey program and create a fully integrated pathway from youth to junior to collegiate to professional hockey.

Why it Matters

Florida is producing elite hockey talent. Florida is winning at the highest levels. Yet there is no Division I program within the state. This forces athletes to leave Florida to continue their development — limiting growth, access, and long-term opportunity.

We are changing that.

What We Do

  • Support active collegiate hockey programs
  • Expand access to ice and training facilities
  • Invest in long-term infrastructure
  • Build a statewide development ecosystem

How to Operate

Through strategic partnerships, community engagement, and targeted fundraising campaigns, we are building the financial and structural foundation needed to elevate hockey in Florida.
