Developing your game is only part of the process.

cover_lowres Western Canadian Junior DatabaseIf you hope to play at your next level, next season, you need to start marketing yourself now.  All of our coaches tell us that recruiting great talent takes a ton of work by the club, but also by the player.  Here are a few tips to help you:

  1. Sign up for camp this summer  if you haven’t done so already.
  2. Opt-in to our email list to receive our PDF database of all the Junior A and B teams in Western Canada.
  3. Create a resume, and video footage if you have it (if not, GET your buddy to film your shifts with a simple smartphone on a tripod ($60) and Youtube it.)
  4. Contact all the teams on the database that interest you, and include your resume and game footage.  
  5. Tell them you will be at the West Coast Prep Camp this summer, and invite them to come watch you.
  6. Include a few comments about their team (do your research, check the standings, etc) to let them know you care about their team, and want to be a part of it.
