Sports Management Worldwide (SMWW) is excited to announce that in addition to Elite Prospects being the official hockey information, statistics, and data provider for the SMWW Hockey Analytics course, Elite Prospects will now also be the official hockey information, statistics, and data provider for the SMWW Hockey GM & Scouting course. 

In the SMWW Hockey Analytics course, students learn about hockey analytic fundamentals used by managers, scouts, and coaches at all levels of hockey to assist with decision-making related to the draft, trades, and free agency, as well as, team and individual player evaluations.  

In the SMWW Hockey GM & Scouting course, students learn the fundamentals of working in hockey management & scouting, preparing students to enter the hockey industry with a diverse array of skills that will make them candidates for a variety of roles at the minor, junior, and professional levels.  The Hockey GM & Scouting course is trusted by leagues, teams, coaches, and scouts at every level of the game, around the globe. 

This expanded partnership will see SMWW Hockey Analytics and SMWW Hockey GM & Scouting students have premium access to the Elite Prospects website, utilizing the player information and statistics provided, and allow them to further develop skills introduced in the Hockey Analytics & Hockey GM & Scouting curriculum. 

This is what SMWW President Lynn Lashbrook has to say about the expanded partnership…  

‘We are extremely excited to expand our partnership with Elite Prospects. Elite Prospects is the premier site for hockey information, statistics and data. Now, both SMWW Hockey Analytics and SMWW Hockey GM & Scouting students will be able to utilize this information and apply it to the knowledge they gain through each of the courses.’
