After The Whistle: Hockey Consultants

INDIVIDUAL PLAYER WEB SITE PROFILES
(Go directly to the profile section>>>>)

Hockey Consultants from Infocom Canada will have a special scholarship search program in place for the 2003-2004 season.

Players from as young as Minor Pee Wee and below will be able to arrange for our Hockey Consultants to actively pursue a post-secondary scholarship for them in Canada or the United States.

The program will allow a young player to develop a portfolio during his or her developmental years. This profile may be continuously up-dated until the player graduates from secondary school.

Hockey Consultants International, a division of Infocom Canada and the creators of After The Whistle Internet Hockey Magazine, will actively promote the players registered in the program to hundreds of Colleges and Universities in Canada and the United States in an attempt to secure a scholarship for the players.

INDIVIDUAL PLAYER WEB SITE PROFILE

	A special web site will be set up for each player registered in the program. You can see a sample profile by going here >>>>>
	A summary of the player's individual statistics will be included, if one exists. These statistics will include things such as number of games played; previous clubs and teams; hockey schools attended; and any other pertinent information about activities and/or training which would enhance his/her hockey skills. If one does not exist for previous years, the player will begin to compile the statistics from the time the site is prepared.
	School records will be included on the site since colleges and universities are very concerned about the academic skills of their players.
	If the player is involved in other sports and/or extracurricular activities, we will post photos and brief descriptions of those activities on the site as well. The intent is to demonstrate that the player is a well-rounded individual.
	Current playing statistics will be updated several times during the season to provide a profile of player accomplishments and achievements.
	Updated photos will be added to replace previous ones as they are provided. The intent is to have the most recent photos on the web site profile.
	Testimonials and reference letters from coaches will be included on the web site profile as they are provided.

PROMOTION OF REGISTERED PLAYERS

	All of the registered players will be classified according to their year of birth and will be separated accordingly.
	Regular newsletters will be sent to colleges and universities in Canada and the United States. These newsletters will encourage hockey coaches to review the profiles of our registered players and to keep track of their career during the years leading up to the year of scholarship eligibility.
	The main site containing all of the registered players will be actively promoted as a site of general interest. We will encourage all interested hockey parties to read the profiles and follow the progress of the individual players.

PLAYER REPRESENTATIVES

	We will keep the goal of higher education first and foremost at all times, but if any of the registered players have an opportunity to move on to Junior A or or CHL levels, we are prepared to represent their best interests with these clubs.
	We will seek contracts which will ensure payment of education expenses during or after the playing days are finished with the respective hockey clubs.
	We are also prepared to represent players if they move on to professional levels.

VERY AFFORDABLE INVESTMENT IN YOUR FUTURE

	We will provide the above services for a very reasonable fee schedule. Our goal is to assist young hockey players in developing a positive attitude towards the sport of hockey by focusing on using their skills to further their education.
	We want young hockey players to feel good about the game and to feel proud of their accomplishments. It is also important to take advantage of all of the opportunities which exist to continue to play hockey and enjoy higher education at the same time.
	Individual player web site profiles will be established for children at any age level. We will continue to showcase these profiles year after year until they player graduates from secondary school, or beyond that if desired.
	The fee for the individual player web site profile will include receiving all of the pertinent information and photos; writing up the initial profile; setting up the statistical charts for hockey and school; entering the site in the proper section with other players of his/her age group; and scanning and adjusting the photos.
	The initial set-up of your individual profile site will require a substantial amount of preparation and time, therefore the charge for this set up will be $150 plus GST. However, this set up fee will also cover you on the site for the remainder of the season in which you are registered.
	The annual fee for each subsequent year is $120. The year will run from August 1 to July 31, therefore payment for the full year will be required in advance.
	Once you are part of the program, your annual fee will never increase.
	It is expected that as this service becomes more and more popular, the annual fees will increase by 10 to 20% per year. However, whatever price you enter at will be the price at which your site will remain. This is to show our appreciation to the players who register in this program during the initial years.

INFORMATION AVAILABLE TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC

	This site will be open to the general public at all times. Therefore, it is expected that there will be a great deal of interest from hockey scouts and coaches for Junior A and OHL teams as well.
	We expect that registered players will receive a great deal of attention as they progress through their careers.
	The site will be promoted to all hockey parties in the world through the global internet hockey magazine, After The Whistle, therefore, we consider the annual fee to be an investment which could greatly benefit the marketing of elite level hockey players who are interested in pursuing a professional career. Nevertheless, our main objective will be to promote the pursuit of a higher education through hockey.

SPECIAL TEAM PROFILE ARRANGEMENT

	If an entire team is interested in taking advantage of our TEAM PROFILE OFFER, you can get your individual player profile for as little as $50 for the first year.
	You can get more information about what is involved in a TEAM PROFILE by going to the site here >>>>>
	The information for a TEAM PROFILE will be obtained during one practice session. A representative from Hockey Consultants International will attend the practice to take individual photos as well as an informal team photo. (see sample)
	The full cost for a TEAM PROFILE is $1200 plus GST. This provides for up to 20 individual player profiles, the team profile, and all updates and changes for the remainder of the season.
	Parents and players who wish to retain their individual player profiles the following and subsequent seasons may do so at the regular rate of $120 plus GST per season.
	The TEAM PROFILE is an excellent way of promoting a AA or AAA hockey team, especially if the team is often playing in tournaments out of town. It is also an excellent way of giving your sponsors some additional recognition.
