MATCH.
SmarterHockey empowers players to navigate their amateur hockey careers with confidence by making intentional decisions.
SmarterHockey utilizes reliable psychometrics, a thorough records review, and face-to-face interviews to inventory each player’s strengths and interests in a number of categories: academic acumen, learning styles, subject matter suitability and interests, career exploration, social personality, recreational interests, hobbies, political and religious practices and preferences, even climate and geographic preferences. We use that comprehensive inventory to measure academic readiness and college preparation, to identify potential vocational interests and college majors, and to determine social, environmental and geographical preferences. We also use that inventory to enhance or remediate each student’s academics. We teach efficient study skills that increase academic performance, and we monitor academic progress. Our approach prepares players for college academically and socially. We then identify the specific hockey colleges where a player will “Match” and “Fit,” where each player will be happy. |
FIT.
SmarterHockey players are happy, and happy players play better.
SmarterHockey collaborates with each player’s current and past coaches and utilizes our own consultants to compile detailed scouting reports that are both objective and accurate. These reports identify a player’s strengths and weaknesses and project a player’s potential. When we promote players to junior and college coaches, we use these reports to be specific and persuasive, so that we can move players to “Play” at the very highest levels. We also use the reports to target training and development priorities. SmarterHockey collaborates with the best specialists and experts to compile personal development plans. These development plans are designed to improve skill, athleticism, health and wellness, and sports psychology. |
PLAY.
SmarterHockey builds complete, elite players.
SmarterHockey compiles and maintains detailed profiles of every junior and college hockey league, organization, team and coach. Our comprehensive factual research accurately identifies programs where each individual player will “Play” and we target player promotion to those teams. Our firm’s networking and communication with junior and college team coaches and administrators is personal and persuasive. We find reputable exposure opportunities, we facilitate roster spots in premier Showcases and combines, we provide our own exclusive programs, and we constantly communicate with college scouts during the high school, midget, prep school and junior seasons. We intelligently promote our players to their preferred junior and college hockey teams. SmarterHockey’s intelligent, targeted player promotion maximizes player advancement. |
