ABOUT US
HockeyProspect.com is now in our 21st season as we progress through the 2025 NHL Draft year. One of the things we are most proud of, is the number of scouts we’ve helped obtain scouting jobs with teams. The fact that we have become somewhat of a training ground for prospective scouts has been a huge side benefit of our scouting service we started back in 2004.
Not long after HockeyProspect.com launched back in 2004, and especially over the past 10-12 years, we began getting asked over and over again if we offered any kind of scouts training. Our team of scouts obviously gained a lot of experience while scouting for us, but we didn’t have an actual course to offer to the general public. Over several of the past 12 summers we’ve spent a few weeks in July chipping away at this project. It has taken us much longer than we had planned, but we are nearing our goal of launching an online course and eventually multiple courses, which will give people the opportunity to dive into the world of hockey scouting and later, enter the hockey scouting profession.
We also anticipate that this course will also help facilitate the process of adding talented people to our own team of scouts.
Stay tuned to this page, we are hoping to laumch the first course prior to entering full blown writing mode for our 2025 NHL Draft publication this spring. If we can’t quite get the first course released this spring,than it will get bumped until after the release of our draft pubication and most likely be released sometime in July of 2025.
What a couple of our former scouts are saying…
Kevin Thacker -Scout, Arizona Coyotes (NHL)
“Starting my scouting career at Hockey Prospect was instrumental to my success. I learned how to properly create effective scouting reports, have confidence in my viewings and fine tune exactly what I was looking for. They also put me in positions to succeed, attending both OHL and NHL Scouting events which led to great networking opportunities. For any aspiring scouts I would definitely recommended Hockey Prospect.”
Charles An – Scout, Tri-City Americans (WHL)
“I could not have found a better organization to start my scouting career with than HockeyProspect.com. Mark Edwards is a great leader who knows the game at a deep level, and is more than willing to share everything he knows to help you become a better scout. He will actively listen to your opinions, and ask questions to help engage more deeply about players or rankings. He created a solid team that worked together efficiently, and they all know their stuff. Working for HockeyProspect.com definitely prepared me to scout for a WHL team as it was a seamless transition.”
