Yes. We’re happy to advise players and families on recruiting pathways, camps, and offseason training options. Our guidance is unbiased and player-first, we do not favor one program, camp, or organization over another. Recommendations are based on what best fits each athlete’s age, goals, development needs, and long-term trajectory.
We believe players deserve honest advice and access to development, not pressure to follow a single pathway. Our focus remains where it should be: skill development, hockey IQ, and helping players make informed decisions, not maximizing fees or limiting options. The right opportunity is the one that helps each player reach the Next Level.
