🔵 Blue Paint Advisory

Where development meets direction.

Blue Paint Network, a leading platform dedicated to advancing youth hockey development across North America, today announced the official launch of Blue Paint Advisory, a new service division designed to guide young athletes and their families through the evolving landscape of player development and long-term advancement.

Blue Paint Advisory was created with a clear mission: to provide clients the necessary tools to develop as players, while guiding them and their families to make informed decisions for the future.

As the youth hockey world becomes increasingly competitive and complex, families often face uncertainty around development pathways, team selection, showcases, training options, and long-term planning. Blue Paint Advisory aims to close that gap by offering personalized support, objective insights, and structured guidance tailored to each athlete’s unique goals.
“Blue Paint Advisory represents the next step in our commitment to strengthening the foundation of youth hockey,” said Co-Founder, Justin DiGaetano, of Blue Paint Network. “Our goal is to empower athletes with the developmental tools they need today, while helping their families navigate the choices that shape tomorrow. The journey should be clearer, more efficient, and supported by trusted expertise—and that’s what this service is built to provide.”

Through a combination of player evaluation, development planning, advisory consultations, and strategic guidance, Blue Paint Advisory will operate as a resource for players across all levels of competitive youth hockey. The service is designed to create a more transparent and informed process for families, helping ensure that each athlete is positioned to maximize their potential both on and off the ice.

Blue Paint Network has rapidly grown into one of the most integrated ecosystems in youth hockey, offering elite events, team programming, training platforms, and digital tools that support player progression. The addition of Blue Paint Advisory strengthens that ecosystem by introducing a dedicated support layer aimed at improving outcomes for athletes nationwide.

Blue Paint Advisory has already begun accepting clients.

The countdown to the 2026 Brick Invitational Tournament in Edmonton is on, and Team Pennsylvania Brick is proud to announce that Tommy Goebel will serve as head coach of our 2016 birth year team. With his proven track record both on the ice and behind the bench, Goebel is set to bring a wealth of experience, leadership, and passion to one of youth hockey’s most prestigious events.

From Player to ProA native of Parma, Ohio, Tommy Goebel built a standout playing career as a dynamic forward. He excelled at Michigan State University before transferring to Ohio State University, where he capped off his NCAA career with strong offensive production. Following college, Goebel turned pro and spent several years competing at the AHL and ECHL levels, where his speed and skill made him a consistent contributor. His playing journey gave him first-hand knowledge of what it takes to reach the highest levels of the sport.

Behind the Bench:
​Building Champions in Cleveland Transitioning from player to coach, Goebel quickly established himself as a respected leader in youth hockey. He now runs the Cleveland Barons program, one of the premier organizations in the United States. His coaching philosophy emphasizes skill development, structure, and character — values that have consistently prepared players for the next level.

Most notably, Goebel’s leadership of the Barons’ 2013 birth year team has been a standout success. Under his guidance, that group has risen to become one of the nation’s top-ranked youth hockey teams, earning recognition for both their skill and discipline. His ability to connect with players and maximize their potential has cemented him as one of the top youth coaches in North America.

Looking Ahead to Edmonton
The Brick Invitational is widely regarded as the pinnacle of youth hockey, and Goebel’s appointment as head coach of Team Pennsylvania’s 2016s signals a commitment to giving our players the best opportunity to succeed. His experience developing elite talent and leading competitive teams will provide invaluable guidance as this group embarks on their journey to Edmonton.
We’re excited to welcome Tommy Goebel into the Team Pennsylvania Brick family and look forward to seeing his impact as we chase history together at the 2026 Brick Invitational.

Stay tuned for updates on the roster, training camps, and the road to Edmonton.
