Sports Agents
 

Anyone have any experience with any sports agents....

I got called by one tonight regarding my hockey situation and where I'm headed in the next couple years. I might be heading to sweden to play in the elite league, which is considered nhl quality hockey, but I need an agent to get there.

I've been contacted personally by various teams, I got home today to 4 letteres of interest and 2 phone messages with the same shit....

Anyone have any experience with an agent though... what sorta cut they take, how they work, what the general contract holds... etc...

lemme know cuz I need some info fast

my best friend from high school and I both had the same agent when we were playing hockey.. I jus got introduced to him through my friend... But he handled everything pretty good - didn't even charge me unless I got signing bonuses, etc. But I never went on to play anywhere, so I never paid anything. My boys been playing in Europe for 6 years and he lives over there fulltime now. Where you from? word.

Oakville man, like 15 mins away from toronto.... Ive been playin since I was 3 man... its been my life... got me into a private highschool on full scholarship, got me into a university (my Jr team is paying for my tuition a little bit)... and now im looking to go somewhere better... I played for the Barrie Colts of the OHL for a couple games, but I didnt want to ruin my NCAA eligibility so I had to pay everytime I played.... of course I got that money back eventually, but just to be on the safe side I did that.

Man im kinda pumped thoug... i left my school a day early to go home cuz I wasnt feelin it there... and I come home to 4 letters of interest all asking me to go to their training and prospects camps, and then 2 phone calls stating the same thing.... and then I get the agency calling me... the agency is www.smwwagency.com I believe... Sports Management WorldWide. couldn't get much better if you ask me.
