ABOUT US
welcome to Atlantic Prep Athletic Conference
The Atlantic Prep Athletic Conference (APAC), founded in 2017, establishes the first pure scholastic ice hockey conference in the Philadelphia area. The APAC builds on an already strong athletic and academic community of schools to create a scholastic hockey model where players can benefit from long established traditions, rivalries and competition. The founding members of the APAC are La Salle College High School (Wyndmoor, PA), Holy Ghost Prep (Bensalem, PA), Malvern Prep (Malvern, PA), and St. Joseph’s Prep (Philadelphia, PA). To more fully organize the process of building a league from the ground up, the athletic directors tapped long time ice hockey coach, administrator and former COO of the Ed Snider Youth Hockey Foundation Jim Britt as the league commissioner. “The core model of the league is to establish ice hockey as a fully recognized scholastic varsity sport within the schools,” said Jim Britt, the founding commissioner of the APAC. “Teams are full varsity programs, players will follow all school expectations for participation and the league management will be made up of principals, athletic directors and school representatives.”
