Player Representation
Player representation is a key service that we provide to our clients. As their agent, we act as a liaison between the player and teams, negotiating contracts and securing the best possible deals on their behalf. We work closely with our clients to understand their career goals and aspirations, and we use our industry knowledge and expertise to help them achieve these objectives.
Our player representation services include contract negotiations, salary arbitration, and free agency negotiations. We work tirelessly to ensure that our clients receive fair and competitive contracts, and we are committed to protecting their best interests throughout the negotiation process.
We also provide ongoing support to our clients throughout their careers, helping them to navigate the many challenges they may face from U18 to professional hockey players. Our team is always available to answer questions and provide guidance, ensuring that our clients have the support they need to succeed both on and off the ice.
In addition to our player representation services, we also offer a range of other services, including player advisory and scouting, player marketing, and player development. Our comprehensive approach to player management ensures that our clients receive the support they need to reach their full potential and achieve their goals.
Advisory Services
We understand that some players will prioritize their NCAA eligibility and may choose our advisory services as a family advisor instead of a traditional agent. This means that they pay for our services upfront, and we provide guidance and support up-to and throughout their college careers. We are happy to work with players and their families to help them make informed decisions about their future. We understand the complexities of NCAA rules and regulations and will work to ensure that our clients stay within those guidelines while still achieving their goals. We are committed to helping players achieve their goals both on and off the ice, and our expertise can be a valuable asset to players who want to maintain their NCAA eligibility while pursuing a career in professional hockey.
Scouting Assessments
Our scouting process is meticulous and thorough, designed to identify the most talented players and provide them with the support they need to reach their full potential. We work closely with a team of experienced scouts who have an in-depth understanding of the hockey industry and can identify players with exceptional skill and potential.
Once a player is identified, we begin the process of collecting information and assessing their abilities. This includes an analysis of their game film, as well as interviews with coaches, teammates, and other individuals who have worked with the player in the past. We also evaluate a player's physical attributes, such as their speed, strength, and agility, to gain a complete understanding of their capabilities.
Offerings:
Consultation
At our agency, we believe that informed decision-making is key to achieving success in the competitive world of hockey. That's why we offer consultation services to help players and families make informed decisions about their career paths, taking into account factors such as skill level, age, and personal goals. We provide guidance on the different options available, including junior leagues, college hockey, and professional opportunities, and help players navigate the various developmental stages on their journey to the pros. We work closely with our clients to identify roadblocks and other considerations that may impact their career paths, and provide personalized support and advice to help them overcome these challenges. Our consultation services are designed to help our clients make the best possible decisions and achieve their full potential both on and off the ice.
Mentoring
Our mentoring services can provide young players with valuable guidance and support to help them achieve their goals on and off the ice. Sometimes, it can be challenging for parents to provide constructive feedback and support without it feeling like pressure or criticism. That's where our mentors come in - they can offer an objective perspective and work closely with the player to identify areas for improvement, set goals, and create a personalized development plan.
Our mentors also understand the importance of a healthy balance between hockey and other aspects of life, such as school and family. Sometimes, a bit of distance from parental figures can help players develop independence and a sense of ownership over their own development. By working with our mentors, players can take control of their own growth and achieve their full potential in hockey and beyond
Personalized Development Plans
We work with each player to develop a personalized development plan that includes areas for improvement in their physical skills, mental toughness, and character. We provide ongoing support and guidance throughout the process, helping players stay focused on their goals and develop the habits they need to succeed both on and off the ice. Our comprehensive player development programs are designed to help players reach their full potential. We start by evaluating each player through a thorough scouting process and game review reports (assessment).
Our team of experts can help players develop a personalized plan for skill development, mental toughness, and life skills training. We can also connect players with specialized training organizations to help them improve specific areas of their game. We are committed to helping every player achieve their goals, regardless of their chosen path, and we are confident in our ability to provide the guidance and support necessary for success.
