Southeast Beast Issued USA Hockey Membership

OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT

USA Hockey Registration Number Issued to Frostletics LLC and Southeast Beast Hockey Club

Frostletics LLC and Southeast Beast Hockey Club are proud to announce that we have been issued our official USA Hockey registration number.

This milestone follows a thorough review process and confirms that our organization meets the operational, governance, and development standards required to operate within the USA Hockey framework. It is an important step forward for players and families in Knoxville and East Tennessee, and one we share with our coaches, sponsors, and community partners.

Southeast Beast was established to provide structured, affordable, and inclusive development opportunities while raising the standard of player preparation in our region. Receiving our USA Hockey number allows us to continue this work within the national pathway and to expand Southeast Beast travel teams, the Greater Knoxville Hockey League, girls hockey programs, and community outreach initiatives that align with USA Hockey’s core values and support long-term growth in Knoxville hockey.

We also extend our sincere thanks to the Membership Committee for asking meaningful questions and conducting the review process in a professional and respectful manner. We appreciate their time and diligence.

John Thiel, President of Southeast Beast Hockey Club, said:

“We are honored and excited to receive our USA Hockey number. This recognition reflects months of preparation and the confidence families placed in our vision for Knoxville hockey. Our responsibility now is to deliver strong development programs, operate with integrity, and create real opportunities for players across East Tennessee.”

Frankie Hart, Vice President and Director of Player Development, said:

“This milestone gives our players access to the full USA Hockey pathway while allowing us to continue the development approach we believe in. We are proud of our families and coaches, and we look forward to helping players improve, compete, and grow in a positive and demanding environment.”

We look forward to working with SAHA and with other organizations throughout the affiliate to strengthen cooperation, raise the level of play, and expand participation across the region.

We are grateful to every family, sponsor, and supporter who made this possible. Southeast Beast Hockey Club exists because of your trust and commitment.

Additional information regarding upcoming programs, GKHL planning, and the 2026–27 season will be shared with families in the coming days.

Be the Beast You Can Be.
