The Role of Hockey Agents & Advisors

 
🤝 HOCKEY AGENTS & ADVISORS – DO YOU NEED ONE? 🤝

As players get older, families start asking: "Should we hire an agent or advisor?" Here’s what you need to know.

✅ WHAT A GOOD AGENT/ADVISOR DOES

✔️ Helps with Junior/NCAA placement.
✔️ Guides players through contracts, eligibility rules.
✔️ Provides networking & exposure.

⚠️ WHEN IT’S NOT NECESSARY

❌ If your player isn’t already an elite prospect.
❌ If the advisor charges massive upfront fees.
❌ If you can market your player effectively on your own.

💡 Pro Tip: Always research who they’ve helped in the past before signing with an agent.
