He has also worked with the former OJHL Jr A Hamilton Red Wings as their Assistant General Manager and the Rayside Jr A Canadians as President and General Manager. Adrian has volunteered at each and every level from House league to Junior A as a Manager, Trainer and Head Coach.
In 2010 he made the natural transition to Representing players and their families full time. He is also the proud father of three boys, Matthew, Evan and has been blessed to help guide and support his oldest son Tyler Bertuzzi, through minor hockey to the NHL. As a former Canadian National Team athlete, he competed for Canada at 5 World championships and knows what it’s like to train and sacrifice as an athlete. He understands the commitment a player requires to reach their goal of playing Major Junior, NCAA or Professionally.
Adrian possesses a unique blend of training knowledge and first-hand experience as a professional athlete that he is able to pass on to his players. During the summers he has also worked as a personal trainer, specializing in Hockey Camps and the on and off ice development of Elite Midget, Junior and Professional Hockey Players. The athletes he represents are provided with this expertise to help them develop next level training programs for strength, foot speed, core strength and all other training elements.
Adrian joined NHLPA Agency Uptown Hockey Management in 2010 and is very well known and respected for his hard work and dedication to both players and their families. In 2018, he started Pinnacle Hockey Management and has had the pleasure of helping all of the company’s Players develop and advance in the game. Adrian is currently Representing Players and their families at the Amateur, OHL, USports, NCAA, ECHL, AHL, European Pro and NHL levels. He works tirelessly for his athletes and families and is a mainstay along with the Pinnacle staff at tournaments, Junior, OHL, NCAA, Pro and NHL Arenas across Ontario and the USA.
Adrian pushes each and every one of our players to achieve excellence both on and off the ice and is highly respected by Major Junior, NCAA, and Professional Coaches, Scouts and Executives. He believes in the philosophy that places the highest of values on hard work, loyalty, integrity, leadership, and teamwork. Many Agents and Advisors believe representation is more of a business relationship. Adrian firmly believes the business side must co-exist with a strong mentorship and personal relationship with the player and their family. This is what makes his role as a Player Representative different from many other individuals and agencies.
