About Us

EHK Sports Enterprises was started in January of 2000 by Eric H. Krupka.  EHK Sports created MidgetAAA.com which was the first website to bring all the Midget "AAA" teams across America together, by publishing their schedules/results, stats, rosters etc...  Later EHK Sports published JuniorA.com which did the same things for all of Junior "A" hockey in the United States.  Then in August of 2001 EHK Sports brought the two websites together under one name, U.S. Hockey News.  The website was free for a year and then went subscription for the 2002-03 season.  The website was a huge success as it became the premier website for youth hockey information and news.

In 2002 EHK Sports entered into the tournament business when it managed the 2002 Thanksgiving Invitational with 12 of the top Midget "AAA" teams in attendance.  Since then the name has been changed to the Challenge Cup and has become the most scouted and competitive youth hockey tournament in the United States. 

Also in 2002 EHK Sports split from Complete Hockey (the two companies had done a joint venture in 2001) to run its own youth hockey showcase for players needing exposure.  Needless to say, the International Pre-Draft Showcase was formed and the rest is history.  The Pre-Draft Showcase has become the most successful showcase in North America with a 73% success rate of moving players on.  That success directly linked to the fact that in 2008 over 150 scouts showed up to watch the event.

In June of 2004 EHK Sports reached an agreement with the Dallas Stars of the National Hockey League to hold the Challenge Cup in their Training Facility and have the event sponsored by the Stars and its corporate sponsors.  No other tournament in the world is directly linked to a NHL team.  EHK Sports has once again raised the bar in event management.

In 2005 for the 2005-06 season Amateur Hockey Report was launched as the premier scouting website for 14-20 year old players. Since its inception it has quickly become the leader in scouting youth ice hockey players and rating them for the NHL Entry Draft. In 2008 the AHR & USHN websites were merged to create one all encompassing webiste.

EHK Sports has become known for running the absolute best events in youth sports, whether its a showcase or tournament, its the BEST!!!
