Player Representatives

Each Member team elects one player to serve as their Club's Player Representative for all PHPA affairs, forming a crucial link between the PHPA and the athletes that comprise its Membership.

The role of a Player Representative is to assist the PHPA in educating its Members in terms of their rights, questions and concerns. The Player Representative provides information and direction to his teammates in order guide Members through situations that will arise throughout the hockey season.
