Upper School Club Ice Hockey

The Pacific Ridge Hockey Club (PRHC), enters its fourth year in the Anaheim Ducks High School Hockey League (ADHSHL) with two teams, Varsity and Junior Varsity. PRHC is proud to announce starting in the 2019-2020 season the teams will be Pure. This means all players participating on the Ice Hockey teams will be students at Pacific Ridge School. PRHC believes this provides the optimum opportunity for our scholar-athletes to play at the highest level of competition while representing their high school.

PRHC is also proud to announce its entrance into the North American Prospect Hockey League (NAPHL), part of the North America Hockey League (NAHL). The NAHL is one of the largest national development programs designed to create a ‘Ladder of Development’ to NCAA Hockey. PRHC and Pacific Ridge are excited to be able to offer these athletes the best possible national exposure with a commitment to an exceptional education.

This year the hockey coaching staff will be headed up by Juan Trevino, Hans Richter, Ben Upham and Josh Albright. In addition to these coaches, Casey Wheel is the strength and conditioning coach, and together they bring over 75 years of coaching experience to the program. Coaches Trevino, Richter, and Wheel are full-time educators at Pacific Ridge School.

The team plays half of its games at the Icetown Rink in Carlsbad (also the practice location), and all strength and conditioning workouts take place at Pacific Ridge School. Games are generally on weekends, and practices usually end by 5:30 p.m., so our scholar-athletes have time to complete homework and spend quality time with family and friends. Balance is one of our highest goals.

Coach Bio - Juan Trevino

Coach Juan Trevino began playing hockey at the age of seven in the hockey hot-bed that is Metro-Detroit. He played ACHA division I hockey at Eastern Michigan University, where he was named defensive player of the year and was selected as an ACHA all-star. He holds undergraduate degrees in public law and government, and sociology/anthropology, as well as a graduate degree from Michigan State University in clinical social work, specializing in adolescent mental health issues. Coach Trevino will also be joining the Pacific Ridge faculty as a Student Support Specialist, focusing on the emotional and academic needs of students. He has experience providing therapeutic services to families in a private setting while employed at Intricate Mind Institute and truly has a passion for working with young people and their families. His clinical background gives him great insights into motivating players and facilitating teamwork.

Coach Trevino’s technical skating and hockey skill instruction is not just a product of growing up playing hockey. From 1999 to 2004, he was employed by Maximum Development and Players Edge hockey schools, where he became a tactician on the ice. He spent two years as the head coach of the La Jolla Jaguars and transitioned to the Jr. Gulls in 2006. He has also been teaching hockey skills at clinics around San Diego for the past 12 years. Coach Trevino’s philosophy remains "perfect practice makes perfect" and his players understand that greatness is earned through hard work and dedication.
