Shayne Stevenson NHLER AT 19
Hockey Players Journey To The NHL
Toronto Hockey Advisors Shayne Stevenson NHLER at 19. as a young boy growing, l can still remember watching Hockey Night in Canada every Saturday night with my family. Like most other children that played hockey around the world my dream was to play in the National Hockey League one day. At the tender age of nineteen, my dream became a reality I played my first game in the NHL. I remember saying to myself as I was walking onto the ice that night in Boston Bruins famous black and gold road uniforms. I had to be the luckiest kid in the world right now!!! My first NHL exhibition game was against the Montreal Canadians and my first NHL league game was against the Minnesota North Stars.
My hockey background went as follows, First round draft pick of the London Knights, 6th overall in the Ontario Hockey League midget draft.
First round draft pick of the Boston Bruins, 17th overall in the National Hockey League draft. Ninth Picked Forward in the world in the 1992 Expansion Draft to the Tampa Bay Lightning organization. As you can see for yourself, that I was drafted in the first round of every possible hockey draft in the world…. Not bad for a kid who grew up in a small town of Aurora, Ontario at the time with a population of 10,000 people playing single “A” hockey. Even after being a first-round draft choice and playing in the NHL.
Shayne Stevenson NHLer at 19 as a young hockey family, ask yourself this question.
How could a first round draft choice of the NHL not be able to retire after his playing days are over??? The truth is in Professional Hockey this happens all the time. I can only say one thing looking back now on my professional hockey career. If only l knew the business side of professional hockey like l know it now, l would be worth at least $20 million dollars more today.
Hockey Players Journey to the NHL. I want you as parents to always keep this in mind
at all times during your son’s journey to the National Hockey League.
How do I protect my child from the business side of professional hockey?
During your son’s journey towards a career as a professional hockey player hockey families will be faced with life changing hockey decisions that will affect your son’s life, for the rest of his life… If not directed properly your hockey journey towards one day of playing in the NHL will soon be over.... There’s 1000’s of hockey questions that need to be professionally addressed and answered correctly each year. If answered incorrectly this will cost your son ten’s of thousands of dollars or millions of dollars in the end. “100 percent fact!” Just ask me! What brothers me the most being a former #1 NHL Draft Pick is who’s answering these hockey questions for your family?? I’ve been doing some research on Google and reading hockey advisors resumes. What I’m noticing is 99 percent of them didn’t make it to the NHL level. I understand… only 0.0001 hockey players in the world make it to the NHL level. But here’s my question, why are these hockey advisors answering your hockey questions? How do they know what’s the best and safest route to the National Hockey League. Make no sense to me…
My goal is to protecting your hockey family from hitting every pot hole in the road along the way. I figure this is the best way I can give back to the hockey community.
Trust me, I’ll protect your hockey player from the business side of professional hockey.
Specially when it comes to hockey decisions like NCAA vs Major Junior Hockey? Hockey Coache Issues? Picking the right Agents? Hockey Scouts? Other Hockey Players on your team? How to handle other Hockey Parents? Hockey Contracts? I’ll make sure must have clauses are in all your son’s hockey contracts.
In the end, I’ll make sure your son uses the game of hockey and the game of hockey doesn’t use your son.
Sincerely
Shayne Stevenson
