Advising
What is Advising?
Advisors help advance you to the next level. Whether you're looking to make the move to AAA or to Junior hockey, advisors make the connections to help you make the next jump in your hockey career.
"If you're good enough, they'll find you" is unfortunately not a true statement. Ultimately AAA teams have no scouting budget, so unless you are on a high-end team that travels and plays teams across the country, your chances of being found are slim. Junior teams also have a limited scouting budget. They attend highly populated events to ensure they're getting their money's worth when it comes to scouting. They attend events such as the USA National Development camp and USA National Championships.
While many teams do use video platforms to be able to watch players more cost effectively, there are tens of thousands of junior eligible players and the odds they stumble across you aren't very high.
Advisors come into play here to get in contact with teams and tell them why they should take a look at you.
Finally, advisors are talking to teams trying to get you drafted or invited to main camps.
Do we need an advisor?
There is a list of criteria on if you need to look into getting an advisor.
The main questions you need to ask yourself are:
-Do I want to play at the next level?
-Am I willing to put in the time and effort every day to not only get to the next level but also be an impactful player?
-What are you willing to sacrifice?
After a consultation, we will let you know if we think you are in need of an advisor. Not every player needs an advisor, and we are very open about the pro's and con's when you're making an investment in us.
