WE’RE ADVISORS, NOT AGENTS
What’s the difference?
AGENT vs. ADVISOR
An agent works to achieve a financial benefit for a promising player based on their ability to play hockey—and gets paid a commission based on any eventual professional earnings.
An agent works to get a signing bonus as early as possible and may not be looking out for a player’s long-term interests.
Once you use the services of an agent, you’re considered a professional athlete. Your opportunity to play at the college or university level may be over, and it can end your hockey career before it’s really begun.
An advisor helps guide players and their families, so they can get the most benefit possible from their amateur hockey career over time.
An advisor is paid while working with a player. They help a player, sometimes for as long as ten years, while the player explores the amateur ranks, develops as an athlete, earns an education, and hopefully positions him or herself for a professional hockey career.
Once you contract with us, we work tirelessly in your best interests until you achieve your hockey goals. At KAAB, we’re your partner for the long term.
