What South Shore Kings Youth Hockey, Inc does

South Shore Kings Youth Hockey, Inc is a private amateur hockey organization based in Foxboro, Massachusetts, operating under the parent entity Edge Sports Group (legal name Albany Road-South Shore Kings LLC). The organization runs a continuous development pipeline from the South Shore Knights Mite Development Program (ages 5-8) through youth teams (Squirt, PeeWee, Bantam, Midget) competing in the Eastern Hockey Federation (EHF), to three junior teams (NCDC Tier II, USPHL Premier Tier III, and USPHL Elite) competing in the United States Premier Hockey League. The organization added a new U18 AAA Full Season program launching for the 2026-2027 season. All programming is delivered from Foxboro Sports Center, a three NHL-sized rink facility housing integrated training partners including Edge Performance Systems (strength and conditioning), Stop It Goaltending, Bay State Physical Therapy, and the Goal Line Pro Shop, with academic support provided through Prestans Online Academy and player housing coordinated through a Host Family Program paying host families $750 per player per month.

The organization's core technology is a co-located player development platform combining on-ice coaching, off-ice training, goaltending development, video analysis, and academic support, supplemented by operational integrations including LeagueApps for registration, CatchCorner for ice-time scheduling, and USPHL+/BlackBear Sports TV for game streaming. Revenue is generated through recurring youth and junior program tuition (NCDC is tuition-free), unit-priced summer camps (NCDC Goaltender Camp $350, NCDC Main Camp $475, Knights Summer Skills $275), and tiered corporate sponsorship packages (Bronze/Silver/Gold/Platinum). The organization has produced 30+ named NHL alumni and 21+ annual NCAA college commitments across Hockey East, ECAC, and NESCAC programs, and has captured the NCDC Dineen Cup Championship in 2024 and 2026 and the Founders Cup in 2025 and 2026.

Day-to-day operations are run by a small core staff of approximately six employees plus contracted coaching personnel, with leadership including President Dave Franzosa, President of Hockey Operations (USPHL) Drew Omicioli, Vice President/Housing Coordinator Sheri Cohen, NCDC GM/Head Coach Tyler Holske, USPHL Premier Head Coach Kevin Mackey, U18 AAA Head Coach Tyler Sullivan, Goaltending Coach Clay Adams, and Strength and Conditioning Coach Owen Campbell. The organization operates under a direct-to-consumer go-to-market model with families registering online and attending annual tryouts, and does not have disclosed revenue, venture funding, or institutional investment.
