Titans Commitment
Create, maintain and develop an elite Tier hockey program
that houses the most committed hockey players both on
and off the ice; to develop the "total" hockey player by
providing quality coaching and a healthy and positive
hockey environment; and maintain a reputation of
excellence in the developing the hockey player.
The California Titans Tier 1 program was established
in 2006, to provide Tier 1 hockey in the North Los
Angeles and Ventura Counties. The Titans field teams
and both the Tier I and Tier II levels in conjunction
with the Ventura Mariners Hockey Association, which
is one of the longest tenured operating youth hockey
associations in California (more than 25 years).
Together the Titans/Mariners consistently field
thirteen to fourteen youth travel ice hockey teams per
season, ranging from Mites to Midget 18’s, at the
Tier 1, Tier 2, A, and B levels; and forms the second
largest membership in Southern California.
The Titans 18AAA team will proudly defend their 2nd
NAPHL Championship during the 2012-2013 season.
Keeping in mind the previously stated Mission and the
overall goals of the California Titans Hockey Club, the
program must be an educational program for players,
parents, and coaching officials. The process of adding,
refining and deleting will shape the Titans as those involved
strive to meet the highest standards and the highest level of
play. Our program is practical and effective in meeting the
program’s philosophy and objectives. The main underlying
fact that will guide our program is almost without exception
our staff. To create a competitive environment that pushes
athletes to the highest level; to put together a product both
on and off the ice that will become the only place a player
wants to play; and to develop, expose, and advance our
players to the next level of hockey.
