NCAA and University Hockey


Both major junior hockey and the NCAA are competing for the same top tier talent pool of junior hockey players. The NCAA has designed eligibility rules, which should be considered generally in the minor midget year of a player. Our independent family advisors guide parents through eligibility considerations and development opportunities.

Like other hockey option, an NCAA commitment is not a guarantee of either skill development or a full education with the exception of an Ivy League school commitment. To consider the pursuit on NCAA, we are uniquely positioned to provide the guidance and assessment and strategies to pursue these possibilities in Division I, II and III programs.

The NHL-NHLPA CBA no longer requires players to opt-in to the NHL draft. Players who go on to NCAA programs can now be drafted in the NHL without losing NCAA eligibility. Our family advisor program can assist parents to continue to properly assess their son's situation through to the end of his NCAA career.

  • Key Points we consider

    • The central criteria - the best interests of the player
    • How to assess the team suitability beyond the recruiting pitch?
    • Who to call, when can I call, who to talk with?
    • Who will assist the family initially and on an ongoing basis?
    • How to know what NCAA eligibility rules, academic qualifications, verbal and written commitments mean?
    • Is there really a "full ride"?
    • A specialized advisor guides parents through the maze of requirements and concerns and focuses on the parent's main desire - the best interests and development of their sons and daughters?
