Overview

Mission

Mission of hockey players in business (hpib) is two-fold, help hockey players expand their professional network and to give back to hockey related causes.

What it reported doing in 2025

Hpib receives revenue from 3 sources, membership dues ($50 annually), events and sponsorships that support our events. Most events are designed to break even, however, certain events, namely the golf outings and hockey tournament are designed to raise money for charity. Since we have no employees and minimal fix costs, we use the membership dues and money raised from the charity events to donate to hockey related causes throughout the us.

Operating model

Revenue model
