For more than a few years I've had the thought of combining a writing and reporting background with ownership and management experience in college-bound hockey programs (15U, 16U, 18U and Juniors).
This domain was reserved seven years ago and I have annually contemplated starting this site -- until today when something was actually done about it.
The Junior Hockey Hub will specialize in presenting VERIFIED commitment and advancement data for college-bound programs as a tool for the hockey-playing public to use. This information is available to all, but sorting and analyzing takes a little experience in the game. Knowing what is a legitimate claim about advancement, and what is an embellishment, can save an enormous amount of time and money on behalf of players and parents.
From a content perspective I will speak directly to those involved in college-bound hockey, on the record, and allow all parties to comment. This site will not be driven by unfounded rumors or hair-brained ideas as the basis for coverage.
We're going to present the facts and provide a format for participants to share their thoughts. This will be a challenge as many in the hockey world -- for whatever reason -- are reticent about speaking "on the record."
If an anonymous source is to be cited by the The Junior Hockey Hub the information will be verified with two other sources in order to determine its accuracy. This will be a two-way street for all involved in this great sport.

I hope you find this site to be helpful and can be involved in adult conversations regarding the world of college-bound hockey.
Enjoy!

About The Operator
Jeff Nygaard spent more than 20 years in Junior and youth hockey as an owner/operator, league commissioner and on-ice official. He also worked in NCAA college athletics from 1990-96 and will use this background, combined with a rusty Mass Communications degree from North Dakota State University.
It is his intention for this site to become a central news source for all those chasing college or professional hockey spots and a trade association of sorts for the owner/operators who provide these opportunities.
Please allow this to be your main source of 18U, 16U, high school, prep school and Junior hockey information. Nygaard will work to ensure that every side of every pertinent topic is presented.
