Hockey on every continent.
Almost.

The Beer League Players Association (BLPA) is an international community of adult recreational hockey players. In 2026 I was brought on to design and run their Worldwide Hockey Tours — an ongoing series of approximately 12 immersive travel experiences per year, blending competitive play with real cultural discovery across destinations in Europe and Asia.

Experiences designed, not just booked.

The BLPA Worldwide Hockey Tours bring together recreational players for multi-day journeys that pair competitive games against local teams with genuine cultural and travel experiences. Each tour is a fully designed experience — itinerary, place, logistics, communications and branding woven into one trip.

I am responsible for the full lifecycle of this ongoing project, from initial concept and tour design through to participant communications, logistics coordination and post-tour reporting.

  • Tour itinerary design across multiple destinations
  • Brand identity and visual communication
  • Participant communications and community management
  • Post-tour reporting and participant feedback
  • Logistics coordination with local partners and venues
  • Travel and accommodation management
  • Event programming and schedule design
  • Marketing strategy and promotion

Moving from complex congresses into experiential travel confirmed what I'd always believed — the fundamentals are universal. Attention to detail, clear communication and a relentless focus on the participant experience are what turn a trip into something people remember.

Interested in working together?

I'm available for event and tour management projects across Europe and beyond.
