What We Do

ACE Hockey Advisors provides clear, honest, player‑first guidance for hockey families navigating development, team selection, and pathway decisions.

We are not recruiters, agents, or marketers. We do not promise placements, teams, or outcomes.

What we provide is clarity — the right guidance at the right moments — so players and families can make informed decisions without panic, pressure, or wasted time and money.

Our Approach

We operate differently than most advisory services.

  • One core package. No confusing tiers.

  • No fear‑based sales tactics.

  • No upselling unless it actually helps.

Every client starts with the same foundation so that nothing important is skipped. Additional support is added only when it makes sense.

The ACE Advisory Package

Complete Player Advisory (Base Package)

Season-Based | $1,500

This is the only package we offer.

The base package provides the essential structure, guidance, and accountability families need throughout a season.

What’s Included

Player Evaluation & Intake

  • Detailed intake and background review

  • Honest assessment of current level and readiness

  • Identification of strengths, gaps, and realistic next steps

Our goal is to align expectations early — not inflate them.

Strategic Pathway Guidance

  • Development vs placement clarity

  • League and level alignment

  • Tryout and season strategy support

We help families understand what makes sense now versus what may be premature.

Ongoing Advisory Support

  • Access to an ACE advisor for questions and decisions

  • Guidance during key moments (tryouts, role changes, uncertainty)

  • Adjustments when plans change

This is advisory support — not daily coaching or management.

Monthly Video Review (Included)

  • One 60‑minute video session per month included

  • Review of game footage, shifts, or clips

Focus areas include:

  • Habits and tendencies

  • Tactical understanding

  • Decision‑making under pressure

  • Position‑specific development priorities

Video review ensures that guidance is based on what’s actually happening on the ice, not assumptions.

Why We Include Video in the Base Package

Monthly video creates a consistent feedback loop. It helps prevent overreaction to short‑term results and keeps development focused on the right priorities.

Optional Add‑On Services

Additional services are available to support players who need more frequent feedback or help during high‑pressure decisions.

These are optional and recommended only when appropriate.
