Our professional Services are designed to help hockey players and their families make wise decisions, while working towards receiving long-trem benefits through the leveraging of their hockey skills.

Too many decisions are made without proper consideration of the long term implications. Over the years, we have seen too many 20 year old players who are at the end of their hockey careers and have nothing to show for it.

We hear from dozens of players who are nearing the end of their junior careers, who have told us that they wished we had spoken when they were 14-15-16 years of age.

We work with Bantam, Midget and Junior-aged players (and their families) to help provide guidance as they go about making important decisions, including;

 

*

The many considerations regarding Midget Hockey vs. Prep School Hockey (and other possible important educational and life experiences)

*

Major Junior Hockey vs. Junior "A" / NAHL / USHL / Other Junior and College Opportunities

*

Life after Junior Hockey.......

We work with hockey players and their families to help design a 3 -5 year "road map" based on several factors to help them achieve their hockey and academic dreams.

We help players identify the various routes that are possible to achieve their long-term dreams, and we work towards opening doors and helping identify financial packages to help accomplish certain steps along the way. We act as advisors, promotors, and provide knowledge and expertise regarding available financial aid packages at various institutions.

Many people believe that they can stumble through the process and leverage their hockey skills. It simply cannot be done.

If the academic route is to be chosen (for example), there are some very important academic decisions that need to be made as early as grade 9, and hockey decisions that need to be made in grade 10 and 11. We speak to midget-aged players (and their mothers and fathers) every week, who are about to graduate from high school, who will not meet the academic requirements for the NCAA, even though they have an average of over 90%.... simply because they did not do the proper research or they relied on the advice of a guidance councellor who was not familiar with the prerequisites.

We do not leave anything "to chance". It is our goal with every player to provide a "road map" on how to best achieve their dreams through a clearly defined path.

We offer programs that are suitable for those players who are interested in pursuing major junior or the college route. We also begin working with players who are presently playing at those levels and are looking for advice.

If you think we can help, we would be pleased to consider your unique situation. We will be honest and frank with you regarding your reasonable expectations and will accept an assignment only if we truly think that we can help.

Please, let me know if you would like to talk about your situation.

Sincerely,

 

David MacDonald
