About Us
Academic Hockey
Academic Hockey Advising – Our advising team guides players and their families through the hockey recruiting process. We use our expertise and network to help our players identify the college hockey programs that fit them best. We strategically guide our players through the complexities of the junior hockey landscape, and we help aspiring Prep/AAA players find programs to lay the foundation for a successful hockey and academic future.
College Prospects Camp – Started in 2008 to give prospects exposure to many of the top college hockey coaches and programs in the country. The showcase games and practices with small area games allow coaches an opportunity to instruct and evaluate players. The Recruiting Seminars give players and parents information that will help them navigate through the recruiting process. We will continue to limit the number of players to give coaches an opportunity to evaluate each player. Our goal is to help each player find the College Hockey Program that fits them best.

Communication: We maintain open and effective communication with players and their families to ensure that everyone is on the same page regarding goals and progress. We will support and encourage our players through the ups and downs of the process.
Advocacy: We are an advocate for each player when dealing with coaches, scouts, and other relevant parties. We will communicate with college and junior coaches to assess their level of interest and evaluate all potential opportunities.
