“Our goal is to help aspiring scouts take their first steps as they begin down their path towards becoming a scout.”

Not too long after HockeyProspect.com launched back in 2004 and especially over the past 10 to 12 years, we began getting asked over and over again if we offered any kind of scouting course or scouts training.  Over the years, our team of scouts have 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 13 summers we’ve spent a few weeks in July chipping away at this scouting course project. It has taken us much longer to complete than we had planned, but we’ve finally launched an online course which will give aspiring scouts the opportunity to get their feet wet in the hockey scouting profession.

Welcome to Scouts U, the home of the Scouts Training Course. Our intro course is delivered online and available to begin upon signup. Learn at your own pace. Part I is mostly focused on educating students on all facets of scouting a prospects traits. Part II is more focused on the practical.  We also dive into some of the processes involved in scouting for the NHL Draft, and much much more.
