Complete profile
STEP 1
After completing PHA’s student-athlete profile, the very first step in your family’s journey begins with a consultation. We begin by talking about the specific academic and athletic goals of your son or daughter. We also spend time talking about preferences, including: size of school, location and other interests. Our ultimate objective is to find the right fit. This initial step lays the groundwork to achieve that goal. Families walk away from the consultation feeling comforted that PHA has their best interest in mind and confident that there is a customized plan in place. We pay attention to every detail to ensure that we can build and tell the best possible story for your child.
Formulate plan
STEP 2
Following the initial family consultation, PHA will begin to formulate a plan with clearly-defined action steps and a timeline. Securing video of the player becomes critical. Discussions with current and former coaches, combined with video review, helps to determine a course of action and leads to an initial target list of schools. The player’s video is then utilized as a tool to introduce clients to prep school coaches. We arrange in-person scouting and start to narrow the search to schools that are properly aligned with the player’s ability and potential – both on the ice and in the classroom.
Tap into network
STEP 3
PHA will leverage its extensive network of contacts within the boarding school community to effectively narrow the search . Trusted relationships with admissions and financial aid directors, as well as hockey coaches, are leveraged in an effort to arrive at an appropriate short-list of target schools. Depending upon the timing of the engagement, this step may also involve arranging for the player to compete in specific showcase tournaments to maximize exposure. We provide assistance with arranging on-campus visits, interview preparation and standardized test prep.

OUR PHILOSOPHY.
Prep Hockey Advisors was created to help parents who are looking for a more challenging ice hockey and academic path for their sons and daughters, but aren’t sure where to start. The PHA team is highly-experienced in working with boarding school admissions teams, financial aid staffs and hockey coaches. The company’s co-owners served as the host family for a 9-year-old ice hockey player from Kharkov, Ukraine. They helped the boy gain acceptance to a New England junior boarding school for 7th grade, then a short time later completed the same process for their own son who left home for 8th grade and their daughter who moved north for 9th grade . Both boys matriculated from junior boarding school to prep school as 10th graders. PHA’s key principal spent nearly three decades as a boarding school headmaster and head of admissions. The combined experience of PHA’s three leaders gives the company a distinct advantage when it comes to guiding families through a lengthy process that can – at times – be challenging and frustrating.
