I’m Chris Myhro. I build systems that help people find opportunity in physical places, coordinate the time around them, and trust the people involved. My foundation is hockey: playing at UConn and professionally, coaching athletes, and building programs that help players advance. That experience shapes everything I build.
Facilities have unused capacity. People struggle to find the right time and place. Trust and coordination often live in disconnected systems. These ventures address different parts of the same real-world problem.
The broader platform for making physical space and time easier to see, select, and use. IceX is the ice-sports vertical. Expansion concepts include FieldX for fields, CourtX for courts, VenueX for venues, CageX for batting cages, AquaX for pools, and WarehouseX for storage space. Additional verticals are on the development roadmap.
Platform directionThe first working vertical: connecting available ice, rink operators, organizations, coaches, and participants through a marketplace for ice time and programs. OpenIceTime is the proposed focused entry point for open ice.
Operating in ice sportsPhoenix1 brings together visual cards, player profiles, and a broader identity and trust layer. I’m working with Arizona State University capstone students on the hockey Card Creator, with an initial focus on creating, saving, and sharing cards.
Building the identity layerThe civic application of SurfaceX, being developed to help municipalities and residents discover and coordinate public facilities, space, programs, and services.
Two Civic1 prototypes in developmentI founded Myhro Hockey Performance / My Hockey Pro to help hockey players develop their skills, read the game, build confidence, and navigate their next steps. The work combines on-ice training, coaching, advising, and mentoring with player advancement tools in development.
Hockey coaching & player developmentTwo complementary Lovable drafts explore how Civic1 could connect municipal operations with the everyday experience of residents. These are product prototypes, not live municipal services. The images below show the draft interfaces; opening a Lovable project may require access.
A proposed workspace for staff and leadership to coordinate requests, permits, work orders, and inspections. The draft explores role-based dashboards, civic information, and AI-assisted workflows with human approval.
Open Command Center draft ↗
A resident-facing concept bringing town communications, programs, and reservations into one place. The draft includes a civic inbox, digital Civic Pass, family profiles, municipal credits, and volunteer opportunities.
Open Civic Connect draft ↗Hockey has been my life as a player, coach, mentor, and founder. My Hockey Pro brings that experience to athletes and families through personal development, competitive experiences, and new tools for the player journey.
Hockey-specific training, individual and small-group development, and guidance for players and families. The focus is on skill, vision, creative decisions, and confidence that carries into competition.
Visit My Hockey Pro ↗I founded the United States Elite League and brought teams to Canada, creating opportunities for players to compete, develop, and experience the game beyond their home programs.
Talk hockey development ↗I’m working with Arizona State University capstone students and engineering lead Jack Montgomery on the Phoenix1 Card Creator. The initial pilot focuses on creating, saving, and sharing visual hockey cards.
Explore Phoenix1 ↗Alongside the Card Creator, I’m developing My Hockey Pro player advancement tools and exploring athlete decision support with ASU students. The goal is to help players and families organize their development journey and make more informed decisions about opportunities. Explore the public pilot for example player profiles and the research dashboard; live ingestion and saved accounts are still in development.
Explore the player tools pilot ↗“Chris Myhro is one of the top development coaches in American hockey.”
I played hockey at UConn and professionally, then spent more than a decade coaching and building programs. That experience gave me a close view of the friction families, coaches, and facilities face every day.
Ice that could be used goes unseen. Scheduling takes too much work. People who should be able to find one another are separated by systems that do not connect. I founded Ice Exchange to solve that in a place I knew firsthand, managed a team of overseas engineers to build the first version, and generated initial revenue. That work became the foundation for SurfaceX as the broader platform.
Prove the model in an actual operating environment. Listen to facility staff, coaches, families, and participants before extending the platform.
Make access clearer, give people control of their identity, and put sound decisions and governance behind the technology.
I welcome conversations with prospective customers, facility operators, product partners, and community leaders. I’m also open to platform-team opportunities where founder experience, product execution, and coordination across engineering teams can help build useful systems.
