Scouting

Scouting budgets for schools and junior teams are limited, in the case of colleges, their hockey budget is the same as the archery team and the rowing team, so a strategic marketing plan is imperative, in placing the player.

Evaluate

Here is what we do at JDM for our clients. Initially, we evaluate the player on strengths and weaknesses of their game, being in hockey for 35 years, I can tutor the player as well as find the right match. Then, along with the player, a profile is created. Their weight, position, hand they shoot, catches for goalies, where they played and action shot. Also, any video content would all be appropriate for the process.

Player Profile

Once the client reaches the midget level, the profile is sent to junior teams that would match the ability of client. Players reaching the junior level of hockey, would go thru the same exercise to all divisions of College hockey.

Most importantly, we will find the right fit for the players ability, to create a rewarding college experience. For players that choose the Major junior route, (OHL, WHL, QMJHL) within their draft year, we would go through the same exercise with all the teams that would apply, to find the right match.
