For hockey clubs

Find a player
for your roster

Send the sporting brief your staff actually uses: position, role, level, timing and eligibility constraints. EHA reviews relevant profiles and contacts your club when there is a reasonable match to discuss.

01We clarify the roster need, playing role, timing and contract framework.

02We review relevant profiles against sporting fit, availability and known eligibility factors.

03We share focused options and coordinate direct follow-up with the club.

Submitting a request does not guarantee an available player, registration approval or a signed contract.

What the club receives

Relevant profiles, not a mass list

Profiles matched to the position, role and team level
Elite Prospects, current statistics and available video where applicable
Citizenship, contract status and known availability
A direct route for sporting and practical follow-up questions

A useful request includes

Details that improve the match

League, age group and the role inside your system
Position, shooting side, player type and priority skills
Import, passport or registration constraints that must be checked
Timing, trial format and the relevant compensation or budget framework

More precise criteria help reduce unsuitable introductions. EHA does not promise that every request will produce a candidate.

Clarification

Known contract status, timing and eligibility questions are reviewed.

Focused options

The club receives profiles only when there is a reasonable fit.

Direct follow-up

Questions, video review and next steps continue with the decision-makers.

Sporting fit

What we evaluate

Level of previous competition and current role
Position-specific needs, production and available video
Age, development route and expected use by the coaching staff
Timing, contract status and willingness to consider the market

Eligibility is separate

What still requires official verification

Federation registration and international transfer requirements
Import or passport rules for the relevant league and season
Entry, residence and work authorization where applicable
Final contract, medical and club approval

A sporting match is not an official eligibility decision. The relevant federation and public authorities determine registration, immigration and work authorization.

FAQ for clubs

Questions before sending a player request

What information should a club include in a player request?

Include the league and team level, age group, position, role, shooting side, passport or import restrictions, timing, trial format and the relevant compensation or budget framework.

Does submitting a request guarantee a suitable player?

No. EHA reviews the request and responds when a reasonably suitable and available profile can be identified. Availability and any final agreement depend on the player, club and applicable rules.

What information can accompany a player profile?

Where available and appropriate, the profile can include an Elite Prospects link, current statistics, video, position, shooting side, citizenship, contract status and availability.

Can EHA help with passport, transfer and visa questions?

EHA can help identify questions that require verification and coordinate the sporting process. The club, federation and competent authorities remain responsible for official eligibility, registration, immigration and employment decisions.

What happens after the club sends a request?

EHA reviews the sporting criteria, clarifies missing details, checks relevant profiles and contacts the club if a reasonable match is available for discussion.
