European Hockey Agency
Hockey Agent in Europe for Junior and Professional Players
EHA is a hockey agency based in Europe, helping players at all levels find clubs, negotiate contracts and build a professional career across European leagues.
What does a hockey agent in Europe do?
A hockey agent in Europe helps players navigate the professional and semi-professional hockey market across the continent. This includes identifying clubs at the right level, preparing player profiles, reaching out to coaches and managers, explaining contract terms and conditions, and guiding players through relocation.
Europe has dozens of leagues across Scandinavia, Central Europe, Eastern Europe and the Baltic region. Without proper knowledge of these markets, it is very difficult for a player or family to find the right opportunity on their own.
An experienced hockey agent saves time, avoids mistakes and increases the chances of landing a real club contract.
Who needs a hockey agent?
A hockey agent is useful for any player who wants to play professionally or semi-professionally in Europe, but does not have direct connections to clubs or leagues.
This includes:
- Junior players (16-20) looking for their first professional contract
- College or university players exploring European options after graduation
- Players returning to Europe after playing in North America
- Experienced players looking to move to a higher or different league
- Parents of junior players who want clear guidance and honest advice
If you do not know which leagues match your level, which countries require a visa, or how club contracts work in Europe, working with a hockey agent makes the process significantly easier.
How EHA helps players find clubs
EHA works with players directly to build a clear path toward club placement in Europe. The process starts with an honest evaluation of the player's current level, age, position and goals.
Once we understand the player profile, we:
- Prepare a professional hockey CV and player presentation
- Organize video and highlight material for clubs
- Research and contact clubs that match the player's level and timing
- Manage communication with coaches and club managers
- Explain contract terms, salary structures, housing and insurance
- Support the player through tryouts and the signing process
We do not make empty promises. If a player is not yet ready for a professional contract, we say so — and explain what needs to improve first.
Countries and leagues we cover
EHA has experience placing players in multiple European countries. The hockey landscape in Europe varies significantly by country, league level and player nationality rules.
Countries we cover include:
- Sweden (HockeyAllsvenskan, Division 1, Junior leagues)
- Finland (Liiga, Mestis, Junior leagues)
- Czech Republic (Extraliga, 1. liga)
- Slovakia (Tipos extraliga)
- Germany (DEL2, Oberliga)
- Poland (PHL and lower leagues)
- France (Ligue Magnus, Division 1)
- Austria (ICEHL, AlpsHL)
- Hungary, Romania, Lithuania, Latvia and other regional leagues
We evaluate which country and league level makes the most sense for each player based on their age, position, passport and playing level.

What players need before applying
Before you submit your profile to EHA, make sure you have the following ready. This will speed up the evaluation process and improve your chances of a positive response.
Essential information:
- Age and position
- Current team and league
- Game stats or recent season performance
- Video footage or highlight reel (even 5-10 minutes of game video is enough)
- Passport and citizenship information
- Preferred countries or leagues
For junior players:
- Parent or guardian contact information
- School or academic schedule

You do not need to have everything perfect. We work with players at different stages. The most important thing is honesty about your current level and realistic expectations.
