September 27, 2021 STATEMENT FROM THE OWNER

I would personally like to thank everyone for their patience in this matter. We apologize the delay but I wanted to make sure the onslaught of negativity was only directed at myself and no one else. I also was seeking legal advice on how to move forward. Unfortunately a competing advisory company in my opinion, attempted to ruin my life and this company. We will be changing some policies on our website moving forward with Top Hockey Prospect. We will no longer have player profiles available to the public however may be requested by schools, teams, coaches. This action will protect your privacy from unwarranted attacks. We will not address publicly these attacks not grant them any more exposure than what they have already received. We will continue to do business as we always have and be straight forward and honest when dealing with our clients.. We will start posting all the positives we have done for players and their families with their testimonials. We look forward to working with you all in the future.

TELL IT LIKE IT IS

The following are examples that something needs to be done with Tier 3 Junior Hockey. All these examples are real and are actually happening or has happened.

Billet home 9 players deep with a coach

A house 9 players in it

Players being charged in excess of $700 a month to share a house or an apartment

Teams not covering meals on road

Teams charging additional money over contract

Teams not honoring contracts with what was promised

Teams not supplying transportation over mileage limit.

BOTTOM LINE Teams are making money in all different ways and not honoring contracts or commitments.

Reasons like this is why you should have an advisor. TOP HOCKEY PROSPECT will be calling these teams individually and if we do not get satisfaction with the responses those teams will appear on TELL IT LIKE IT IS #weareonit #tellitlikeitis #tophockeyprospect

December 24, 2021 REMEMBER WHEN?

On March 20th 2020 Top Hockey Prospect wrote 5 articles on our blog (www.tophockeyprospect.com) about COVID 19 and its effects on the sport of ice hockey. All of those blogs were published months before others and the subject matter couldn't had been more spot ON! Why do we bring this up NOW? No not to gloat but to point out there is only one agency that TELL IT LIKE IT IS and that's TOP HOCKEY PROSPECT #tellitlikeitis #itsnotsponsored #it'sfree #itsfact #noBSorslander

December 17, 2021

TELL IT LIKE IT IS

we could have chose topics like 30 players on a 25 man roster, 6 goalies on a USPHL Premier teams or people thinking they are qualified and they aren't.

We chose not qualified because in the other two instances those coaches who have too many players and too many goalies are not qualified either.

We are going to give you a couple of examples so scenario 1 are you going to take personal training tips from a) certified personal trainer or b) someone who is 75lbs overweight with major health issues

Scenario 2 Do you want an advisor a) who has over 600 Jr wins with 8 championship 3 National championships and moved over 200 players to higher level jrs college or pro or b) someone who bad mouths their competitors and only track record of many attempts of failed teams or leagues they have started

So in both scenarios in you chose A you will had picked a Top Hockey Prospect advisor if you picked b you should be contacting Top Hockey Prospect ASAP before you become the next failed experiment

December 10, 2021 THE TIER 3 JUNIOR GOALIE SITUATION

Well this situation has gotten out of hand!!! Junior hockey is supposed to give players an opportunity to not only develop but also give players an opportunity to advance their careers to hopefully to college hockey.

So here are some real life unfortunately SAD current situations in Tier 3 hockey. There are two USPHL Premier teams have five goalies. Five? How can you develop or advance with 5? Included in these 5 are ageouts in their last year? How is this being done or for that matter even being allowed?

We have other scenarios in that league as well as others that have GA OR GOALS differential off the charts but refuse to make a change while 01s are sitting in stands looking to just get an opportunity. There is no reason for me to put teams on blast as the information I state are not hard to figure out.

Now is the time to stop this practice and correct the situation. Yes we have a couple of goalies involved in this situation and it's not crying over spilt milk it's simply pointing out the reality this is NOT JUNIOR HOCKEY it's a bankroll technique!!!!

December 3 , 2021

Players on TIER 3 JR TEAMS if you are on a team with more than 25 players we are giving you a fair warning only 25 players are protected and insured. If you are not on that list you should not be paying and you are a FREE AGENT and can talk to other coaches. We had an incident this week where a player was not on 25 man and a team asked for their money not going to happen

TELL IT LIKE IT IS (CONTINUED)

November 26, 2021 QUALITY OVER QUANTITY

There are way too many teams!!!!!! Whether it be juniors, Academies Midgets etc. It's time to take a step back and worry about development and not about $$. There are too many owners/coaches worried about $ then a good product. We have seen strong leagues suffer with weak teams and good teams hoarding players and sitting them in the stands. You also have the reverse with teams dressing 13 guys and are 1 or 2 injuries away from folding. Leagues need to do a better job policing their league teams and focus on administration of their league rather than worrying about podcasts, fantasy leagues etc.

November 19, 2021 ACCOUNTABILITY

When a prospective client approaches us to possibly represent them we ask them a few questions. Hows your grades? What's your short term and long term goals? Can you take constructive criticism?

You may ask why do we ask these questions. Well unlike other advisors we are selective on who we take! We don't just take clients whose families have pulses and wallets we take players we can advance and develop!!! So if these questions are answered appropriately it tells us two things 1) are we the right fit for this prospect 2) does this prospect take accountability not only for his future but also his actions!!!

November 12, 2021 WHAT DOES YOUR ADVISOR DO?

Well we will start out with our philosophy is we treat our clients like family! We do everything in our power to highlight all our clients achievements anytime we can. In our 2 1/2 years in business, we have had 2 Pro 6 college commitments 3 Tier 2 placements/tenders 15 USPHL 14 EHL 2 GMHL 2 NA3 9 18u 4 16 u placements. We are proud of all of our clients!!!

WE DO NOT
pouch other advisors clients or tell them we are going to steal their clients

OVERCHARGE

Bad mouth our competitors such making accusations as bad marriages owing child support failed business pasts etc etc

Ignore or never contact our clients

Change our business philosophy

WE DO

have constant contact with our clients

work for our clients

Treat our clients like family

Focus on our clients and not worry about the competition

WHICH ONE IS YOUR ADVISOR ?

TELL IT LIKE IT IS (CONTINUED)

November 5, 2021 NOISE

Noise is a disturbance from an outside source. It is irrelevant distraction that only affects you if you allow it to. If you stop to listen to it you are taking time away from focusing on your goals and your tasks at hand. Most of the noise usually comes from detractors who either cant accomplish what you are capable of or just pure jealousy. Most noise is just that but in some cases people take it to extreme levels and need to be dealt with!!! So with that being said we have dealt with alot of NOISE and end result usually ended with me yelling NEXT!! followed by a COUNTDOWN!!! So stay on course dont allow NOISE to distract you.

WHAT THAT MEANS TO JR TEAMS AND WHAT IT SHOULD MEAN TO TIER 3 JUNIOR PLAYERS AND PARENTS

Halloween is circled on every Jr teams Head Coach and Team Owners calendar. You are now asking why? Well if you look at the Players rights and responsibilities Oct 31st is the last day teams are required to give 50% back of contracts to Players! November 1st they are allowed to keep up to 75% of your money. November 1st is also considered CUT DAY now that teams can use that extra money to cut you and get a better player and not charge them as much. Halloween is the day that Owners breath a sigh of relief that they schemed more money out of a player who has no business playing Juniors. So
Players and Parents don't be tricked this Halloween at the expense of some teams treat!!!!!

Happy Halloween!!!!!

October 22, 2021 ATTENTION PLAYERS AND PARENTS

If your Junior team has more than 25 players on your team you need to LISTEN UP!!!!!!
YOU need to immediately contact tophockeyprospect@gmail.com NOW. Here is why it means it is possible your son is not even on the protected list which could mean 3 things 1) he is a free agent 2) you are paying for your son not to be even on the roster 3) your son is not covered with insurance

GET YOUR ATTENTION YET ok does your team have more than 3 goalies? Like 4 5 6? We know 5 teams right now please email as next week we are calling these teams out!!!

Finally if you are a player in either of these situations and you don't have an advisor contact us for FREE advice tophockeyprospect@gmail.com

October 15, 2021 COMPARING TIER 3 LEAGUES/TEAMS

There is good and bad in every league. Every league has a purpose.

It is up to each player/parent to determine what their short term/long term goals are before selecting what league they want to play in.

Once that is done finding a team that fits your style of play along with aligns with both your short/long term goals are.

So there it is THAT SIMPLE!!!
So why is there so much movement with Junior players bouncing around from team to team this season more than others?

It's another simple answer didn't do the above before choosing a team and didn't have advisors that TOP HOCKEY PROSPECT has who TELL IT LIKE IS !! Contact US NOW tophockeyprospect@gmail.com

October 8, 2021

You never know who maybe watching on any given day. Just because they don't have a team logo on their jacket doesn't mean that they are not a scout.

You should treat every game the same no matter who is in the building or not. With most games on video a coach doesn't have to be present to see what you did or didn't do.

It only takes one play to be added or taken off a scouts list.

So with that being said why not go with a company that has the experience of moving players and telling you what you need to do to get there.

Top Hockey Prospect would be that company who has experience in all aspects in the sport of hockey.

We want players who want to advance and can take criticism when we TELL IT LIKE IT IS

TELL IT LIKE IT IS (CONTINUED)

October 1, 2021 ENTITLEMENT

We would like to welcome you to our first edition of TELL IT LIKE IT IS. Our first topic will be ENTITLEMENT. Here is the definition of entitlement

1) the state or condition of being

2) a right to benefits specified especially by law or contract

3) belief that one is deserving of or entitled to certain privileges

So, what does this word mean in the sport of hockey or how is this related in the sport of hockey. Well here goes and buckle up because we are going to make a lot of people upset. So, it applies to players, Coaches, owners, leagues, advisors and can you imagine people like us bloggers.

We truly believe in 2021 this will be the year of entitlement and it has already started, and we are only a few weeks into the season. We will predict that player movement this year will be at an all-time high. We have seen it already if they don’t like the coach or the team, the player is already asking for trades/releases etc. Can you Imagine a player having to battle a little adversity and GOD FORBID try harder? Yes, we said EARN your playing time its not given. If you are playing Tier 3 and you have been cut from every Tier 2 team that makes you a Tier 3 player. Its these types of players that Coaches/Owners are making feel entitled by giving them financial breaks which is only increasing the players BIG EGOS. Why would these coaches/owners do this? Well, the teams that do these practices have 30 players still on roster or even more. Most leagues have the roster size is 23 to 25. These teams feel entitled to hold players with some not even being on teams protected list. You may ask why? Well owners need to pay the bills and with players receiving “discounts” they need to charge or in most cases overcharge players to make a profit.

So, after reading what you have read “you are saying to yourself I know coaches or teams that do this! “Yes, you have been fooled by coaches/owners who feel entitled to lie to people to make a living. So, your next question is how these teams get away with it. This is a few ways how 1) players and parents continue to be fooled by these deceitful practices 2) the league doesn’t govern or control these teams from doing these practices. So why don’t these leagues police their own well its because they want the “BEST” players in the league so they can put up their entitled numbers called COMMITMENTS!! Leagues are bragging with most of the time FALSE information about commitments how many people track to see if those players end up at the school, they “committed” to or better yet even make the team as a freshman.

OK lets all take a deep breath!!!!!! WE just ruffled a lot of peoples feathers and we have covered a lot of ground especially in the land of Junior Hockey. So, lets shift to high gear. Next to reach our table is advisors. Some advisors feel they are the only advisors in the game and have no issue in trying to poach other advisors’ clients. Hell, there are even some advisors that will brag that they are stealing another one’s clients or going to try. Why would these advisors do this other than pure disrespect, arrogance, and ENTITLEMENT?

So that brings us to BLOGGERS, Bloggers feel that their every word is being read by millions and will say anything they want to draw that click sometimes called CLICK Bait. There are bloggers out there that don’t fact check nor even care about the truth. These bloggers are only looking to ruin people and have nothing positive to write. They do this to overcome their own deficiencies or flaws because they feel entitled to do so.

So, at the end of the day if people just focused on themselves and only themselves the game would be better for it. The player should be looking to achieve their set goals and not worried about anything else. The coaches/owners should be focusing on their product and making the players experience memorable not miserable. Leagues need to weed out these coaches/teams to make their league more credible. Advisors just need to focus on their own clients and making them successful. And us bloggers we just need to play nice with others and do the RIGHT thing don’t feel entitled and TELL IT LIKE IT IS!!!!!!!
