What is the difference between an advisor and an agent?
A family advisor guides amateur players and families through development, eligibility, and career decisions, while an agent represents professional players in contract negotiations and business matters. Players engaging in a family advising agreement pay an upfront fee to maintain their collegiate eligiblity, while professional representation varies in fees and commission percentages for playing contracts.
When do I need to hire an advisor?
You should consider an advisor when you're navigating AAA, prep, junior, college, or early-career decisions and want unbiased support, guidance, and exposure to programs for placement. There is no set 'age' to hire one, it simply depends on when you are seeking the additional help -- whether amateur or professional.

What are the baseline requirements to qualify for professional hockey?
In the USA, a minimum benchmark for minor professional hockey is a strong ACHA D1 resume for the lowest level of pro.
European benchmarks vary by league, and the level you played will determine the type of contract/amount of money you can receive from a club. If you're interested to learn more to see where you would qualify, please send us an email at info@3vsportsmanagement.com.
