This article informs about the career of a hockey recruiter. It tells you everything that you need to know like the average day of a hockey recruiter, the salary, how to become one, etc.
Being a hockey recruiter is being on the road a lot and watching hockey games regularly to discover good players that may help your team to be better. When you discovered interesting players, you must keep an eye on them during the year to learn about their game and to be sure if they can truly help your team to win.
They watch hockey games to discover and evaluate unknown players to see if they can help their team to be better.
They watch hockey games, they travel to their next destination where they are going to watch a hockey game, and they sleep at hotels. They can also talk with players, parents and coaches/managers of their team and of other teams
They work at the arenas where the hockey games that are interesting them are taking place. They can also work at their hockey team headquarter.
When you have a lot of hockey skills, but you don't see a potential in having a professional hockey career, you have a great opportunity of becoming a hockey recruiter. You can apply at your previous hockey team because you already know the coaches, and you can start by working without a salary
An amateur recruiter can make between $50,000 and $100,000 US. A recruiter working for a professional hockey team can definitely make more than $100,000 US
They need to have the ability to communicate effectively because to evaluate a player, you have to watch him, but you also need feedback from their coach or others recruiters
You can be on the road for a very long time which means that you can be away from your family for a long time.
They can't physically being replaced by robots, but the technology makes that, today, it is easier to watch hockey games on the Internet instead of being in presence, because you can watch more games in a day. This new aspect of the job will not replace hockey recruiters because coaches and managers still need some people to watch the games of the players that they are interested in.
There is not a specific age to retire when you are a hockey recruiter. We also saw, in the past, hockey recruiters working at the age of 70 years old and more, because their passion for hockey was simply too strong.
As I am playing my last year for the hockey team of the Cegep de Thetford, it is going to be hard for me to find a new team in a competitive level. To continue to be close to my passion, being a hockey recruiter is a great opportunity that I have because I have a lot of hockey skills
