Over the course of the next two weeks, the North American Prospects Hockey League (NAPHL) will preview each of the organizations in the NAPHL for the 2016-17 season. Each day, leading all the way up to the first event of the season at the NAHL Showcase in Blaine, MN, the league will feature a different organization and take a look at their teams.

California Titans

Teams: 18U, 16U

Coaching Staff: Scott Yorkinson (18U), Brett Beebe (16U)

Director: Janice Bowman

The California Titans are one of the founding members of the NAPHL are have won the NAPHL Championship twice at the 18U level. Last season was a good one for California as both teams qualified for the playoffs. The Titans have a new look! With a new 16u head coach, new jerseys, and a lot of new faces on both teams, it is fun and exciting time for everyone involved in the organization. The strength of our 16 team will be a smooth skating, puck moving defensemen while the 18s will again rely on a relentless effort and being a miserable team to play against. Both teams are excited to see how they match up against some of the best teams in the country once the NAPHL season begins.
