Hockey Uncomplicated

Contract Negotiations

Contract Maintenance
All terms of contracts must be respected. Occasionally circumstances call for us to step in to enforce the terms of a contract, and while we take great care in addressing conflicts amicably in our correspondence with teams, some conflicts require legal action.

Tax Planning, Budgets, Currency Conversions and Banking
Alpha Hockey Inc. works with a select few highly respected independent financial advisors. These advisors are tremendously experienced and highly respected within the NHL community. Advisors are individually matched to our players based on the needs and goals of each client.
Draft Selections
NHL and Junior entry drafts are often frustrating and confusing for players and families. We give clarity and direction, as well as timely advice in dealing with scouts in preparation for drafts. While this is an exciting and important moment in a player’s career, we focus on long term career advancement and the draft is only one small step in the journey.
Major Junior vs. College Advising
A major decision for players and parents is which route to take in their journey towards professional hockey. Major Junior and College both can be great options but which option is the right one for you and your long term goals? At Alpha, we have 2 decades of knowledge, experience and contacts in both leagues. Allow us to take the emotion and uncertainty out of this important decision.
