Just wondering, is anyone out there a scout for any level of hockey?

I know my hockey really well (especially high school), to become a scout, what type of background credentials would be needed? Or is playing experience at the higher levels (college D-1, professionally) the only thing that really matters? I know I don't have much chance of landing a D-1 position, so are my dreams of being a scout lost ones?

Also, the same questions apply to a high school hockey coach, or even better, a D-1 hockey coach?

If you dont think yoo could be a D-1 scout you could always try to be one for Breck or Roseau cause we all know they do

Sicknasty7722,

If you are serious about this, why don't you approach the High School Elite League and ask if you can volunteer to scout for them. They have scouts at most of the key games and they are usually just volunteers who have some connection to the league. At least this would give you some experience and possibly provide you with some contacts.

I'm still in high school.

Is there certain degrees for someone who is a scout/ a d-1 hockey coach?

Get a teaching, physiology or psychology degree and start coaching. Volunteer your time and talents at your local youth hockey organization and see if you can start working with the HS coach as an assistant. Most schools hire a teacher for a coaching position first. If a suitable candidate is not interested, they go outside the school.

Email some D-1 coaches and see if thy can suggest a carrer path for you to follow.

Breakout,

It not that it is too early, you are actually late. If you haven't been contacted by now you kid want make it. Start considering Alaska Anchorage, this isn't a bad choice considering that he could be a late bloomer. Just a thought, good luck to your never been mite.

I think he has confused Roseau with Warroad.

I also think he has "scouting" confused with "recruiting". Get a clue.

Also the ISS has an 8 week online course for scouting training. It costs 1000 bucks. Anyone know if this is credible or would help you with a career in scouting? Or is it just some sort of way for them to make extra cash?

If you are good and want to play, marvin windows will give the parents a good paying job no problem

Undercover Hockey Lover · Thu Dec 06, 2007 11:36 pm

Gee...that's a new one.

Curious what does that have to do with a thread about SCOUTS? Enlighten me please.

I don't quite get what swamp land has to do with the ISS

Anybody have any actual information?

In other words, don't waste your time. A scouting job will come through experience and connections. Blowing a grand on a course isn't going to help you become a scout if that is what your goal is.

Start doing some work (for free if you have to) and begin to build your resume and and your contact list.
