Video Scouts – This is the only entry level scouting job we currently offer. Here former players or coaches who are breaking into scouting can fill out pre-scout reports for our regional scouts. These scouts would watch film to help support the regional scout. For example, a scout attends a game and likes the player but didn’t see him shoot. He may email the video scout and say pull up his last 10 games and track his shooting. Can he shoot under pressure, does he get pucks to the net, does he shoot to score, does he have power, does he get it off quick, etc.
