Tomas Kapusta
Tomas Kapusta brings a career that spans nearly every level of the game to his work advising players and families. A 1985 NHL Entry Draft pick by the Edmonton Oilers, Kapusta played professionally for 20 years, represented the Czech Republic at the 1994 Olympics in Lillehammer, and competed in three Junior World Championships and one Senior World Championship. Off the ice, Tomas operated the USPHL San Diego Sabres for seven years, served as Coach and Hockey Director for the Jr. Kings and Jr. Reign organizations for a combined 21 years, and currently serves as Hockey Director and Head Coach at California Surf Hockey across the 14U, 16U, and 18U age groups. Tomas coached from the high school to prep school level, and spent years building his own camps in Europe and worldwide — filling rosters to compete in tournaments like the Lions Cup.

Tomas's advising services are for any player looking to go beyond their current level — whether that's the jump from AA to AAA, AAA to juniors, ACHA, NCAA or worldwide universities with a hockey program, or simply the next step forward in their development. The baseline package includes an initial advisory session to outline career pathways, structured goal-setting, and once a month in-season film reviews with a sport-specific advisor, with players expected to submit film through InStat or directly to their advisor/coach. More than technical feedback, Tomas serves as a trusted, honest voice for players and families working through the full picture of a season — teammates, coaches, and the personal challenges that come with competing at a high level.
