What We Do
How we help players
We advise players and we develop players. Most families come to us for one and stay for both. Player evaluations are part of both.
Hockey Advising
A voice off the ice. We help you understand your options, get exposure, and make the right decisions for Junior, College, University, Prep School, and Pro hockey.
Skill Development
We coach the core skills of the game, from novice to junior. Shooting, puck control, passing, skating, checking, and power skating, taught the right way.
Camps
High-tempo, high-compete camps. Players sharpen their skills and build confidence before tryouts and the season ahead.
Our Mission
We educate and inform student-athletes about the recruitment process, represent each player’s best interest, and guide them through tryouts and recruitment.
Whether you want to play Junior, College, Prep School, Minor Pro, or European Pro, or you simply want more exposure, the path can be difficult. We help you understand every option, then let the athlete make the right decision for them.

Who We Are
A team that has played the game
The hockey world is full of people who call themselves advisors and coaches. Many have never played or coached at a high level. Our team has. Our advisors and coaches are former pro, junior, and college players who know the path because they have lived it.
- Former pro, junior, and college players on staff
- Honest advice, even when it is not what families expect to hear
- Current on NCAA rules and what coaches and scouts look for
NHLPA Certified
Player First
Led by Former Pros
Experience you can trust
Our staff are former pro, junior, and college players. Our founder and head advisor, Matt Gorman, was an AJHL MVP and played 11 pro seasons in the United States and Europe. The rest of the team brings junior, college, and pro experience of their own.
Real Relationships
Relationships that place players
Placing a player comes down to relationships. Over 15 years, we have built real connections with coaches, general managers, and clubs, from minor hockey through junior, college, and pro, across North America and into Europe. Teams reach out to us, and we reach out to them for our players.
