West Michigan Player Advancement


At West Michigan Varsity (WMV) and the Keyes Institute of Ice Hockey (KIIH), we are committed to helping players reach their full potential both on and off the ice.


The players below have trained with KIIH, competed for WMV, or participated in both programs before advancing to higher levels of hockey, including the USA Hockey National Team Development Program (NTDP), NCAA hockey, Tier I, Tier II, Tier III, AAA, and other competitive pathways.


Every player's journey is unique. Their success reflects years of dedication from the players, their families, youth associations, coaches, teammates, and the organizations that supported their development. We are proud to have been part of their journey and look forward to helping the next generation of West Michigan players pursue their goals.
