Dear Impact Hockey Community,
I am reaching out to address recent misinformation regarding Impact Hockey and the misinterpretation of our programs as a pathway to A, AA, and AAA teams. I want to clarify unequivocally that this claim is false and entirely unfounded.
Furthermore, please note that Impact Hockey will be temporarily suspending the 2015 age category from our programs until further notice. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation as we implement this change. We would like to thank our loyal 2015 client base for their patience and understanding in this unfortunate matter that ultimately affects the "KIDS".
Impact Hockey is fully committed to offering high-quality development opportunities for players. However, we are not affiliated with—and do not serve as a direct pathway to—A, AA, or AAA teams. We strictly adhere to GTHL rules, protocols, and guidelines.
Our trainers will not engage in discussions regarding pathways to higher-tier teams. We encourage all players to participate in tryouts and make informed decisions that best support their individual development.
Thank you for your continued support, and we wish everyone the best of luck in the upcoming tryouts.
Best regards,
Joe Venuto
Executive & Partner | Impact Elite Hockey.
P.S. I encourage the “person” or the few people that have so much to say on these platforms to contact me directly and stop hiding behind anonymously: 905-302-8889. As I do not appreciate this type of bullying at an adult level you have forgotten that this is about the kids. I welcome a conversation.
I don’t know who this guy is but if he has skin this thin he won’t last a full season in this sport. He’s the kinda guy who will respond to every parent q with a team snap email to the entire team. What a noob.
If you don’t know who this guy is then don’t come on here with a stupid opinion. Seeing that JV has lasted decades in this game, is well respected and has trained and developed many NHL players should tell you a little about his pedigree. And another thing, he’s come on here and isnt hiding with putting out out his name and #. Not sure others who are all tough behind their words have it in them to do the same.
I echo other messages - Do your research on the man before you waste everyone’s time with your dumb ass opinion.
Taking advantage of families by leading them on is clearly a warning of one’s character. Some may view the actions as a major lack of integrity. Hopefully the OHF, GTHL or the TRe organization makes an example of this situation in the form of recourse.

Here it is , BOOOOOK IT
TT under Eric Cella is incapable of running a normal organization. The 2015 year doesn't have a Chinese billionaire financing everyone's private school like the 09 team. Sorry, but another fellow wop in Vince won't elevate this dumpster fire.

I hate to break it to you my man, I could care less about his resume, the reason he put this out here is because he’s been getting his assistant to send emails about skates under the Impact Hockey title, he thought he would evade tampering charges and this is his attempt to get ahead of it. Don’t worry Joe, someone in the Red Wings org will pay the fine.
So please tell us why the hell are you so bitter about this scenario?
Did you not get an email? Were you left out? Did someone hurt your feelings? How many birthday skates have you taken little Johnny to bud? Honestly next time you want to get upset about something try for it to be something anyone cares about.
And let's be honest they're not randomly sending out emails. You signed up for their distribution lol. Classic minor hockey move- someone saying they were "invited to a skate" when in fact they signed up to receive whatever development programs messages.
