WHATS NEXT?

With the understanding that each athletes goals for hockey and personal circumstance are different, we require our first conversation to be in person so all parties can best articulate the athletes goals and alternatively how we can help an athlete reach those goals.

Secondly we urge each family to please understand that we are not interested in representing every player who may be seeking this style of service. This initial meeting is as much of an interview for your athlete and family as it is for us to demonstrate how our services can help the most dedicated athletes reach their goals.

Please contact Bernie at bernie@nextgeneration-hky.com to set up your individual consultation.
