Is there a scholarship available for me???? IN ONE WORD ……..YES


1.First of all, you must be an excellent athlete. You don’t have to be the best player on your team, but there can’t be any doubt that you will be able to play at the college level.

2.You must be a good student to be admitted. College coaches won’t base their scholarship decisions on your grades, but if bad grades keep you out of the college, they can certainly keep you from playing college hockey.

What requirements do I need to be able to practice, play and get a scholarship at a Canadian or American school?

Student athletes with learning disabilities: a model for effective support

The redefinition of intercollegiate athletics has taken on the primary focus of creating stronger academic and personal support services for student-athletes

Six Tips On How Athletes - Can Maximize Their Opportunities

As an education consultant, I come across many players and parents who are very confused about the recruiting process, thus failing to maximize their opportunities to play college hockey.I believe that the following tips will help any players chances.

•Improve your grades! Regardless of how good they are. Many athletes have had a lot of golden doors closed to them because of ordinary grades

•Register with the NCAA Eligibility Centre while in Grade 11 before writing you're SATs/ACTs

•Take the SAT/ACT while in Grade Eleven (11), and if needed, a second writing in your Grade Twelve (12) year. To receive a scholarship you must do well on the SAT. If you have trouble with standardized tests, consider taking a SAT prep course. I have an excellent online prep course for students from the Fraser Valley Distance Education Centre at no cost to you

•Contact coaches of Colleges or Universities that you are interested in. During your Grade Twelve (12) year, coaches are more likely to recruit athletes who have shown interest in them

•NCAA rules prohibit colleges from calling high school athletes until after their Grade Eleven (11) year. Anytime a coach expresses an interest in you, it’s a good idea to call him to learn more about the college/university and its program.Be PROACTIVE RATHER THAN REACTIVE

•Return ‘all’ questionnaires sent to you by the colleges
