Founded in the mid-1970’s by Compuware Corporation CEO & President, Peter Karmanos and partner Thomas Thewes, the COMPUWARE Youth Hockey Program was formed with the goal of providing a local program where young players could develop to the height of their potential. With the success of the COMPUWARE Youth Hockey Program, Karmanos and Thewes expanded their hockey roots to include teams in all levels of competition.
