Scouts

It is a true honor to be a part of the SMWW family as someone who is an aspiring general manager, I feel with the networking I have completed throughout the past couple of years will create my success. I want to give tremendous thanks to Mike Oke, Harry Sinden, Dino Caputo and Mike Smith for sharing me their perspective of the game I love most.

In my eight weeks of taking the management and player scouting course it helped me to take what I knew from playing the game of hockey my whole life, and applying the skills I learned throughout the course and putting them into a package to help me enhance my trade into the scouting world of hockey. I like from week one how we started on the history of hockey and how the times have changed on to week eight where we able to apply what we learned right into the offices of pro-hockey teams. I recommend this course to anyone as it makes me feel more professional and I feel more confident in walking into any office and applying for a hockey scouting job. My favorite part was working with Rinknet and doing actual scouting reports. Thanks Sports Management Worldwide.

“SMWW’s Hockey GM and Scouting course was a great networking resource that helped me expand my network which lead to getting an internship with Ontario Hockey Academy and I am now an Assistant Coach with the Academy over more than 150 students.”

The Hockey GM and Scouting course is a fantastic stepping stone for anyone that has ever wanted to get involved in hockey operations. From diving into the role of General Manager and building a roster, to what to look for when scouting players and building a draft list, this course will provide you with the opportunity to pursue hockey as a career. The weekly sessions with Harry Sinden, Dino Caputo, and Mike Oke gave us the opportunity to network with our peers and discuss the hot topics of hockey. I will be using the information, insight, and resources for years to come.
