Hey anyone have any insight on becoming a hockey agent? Ive heard there are only about 100 of them. Anyone have any inside info? I know this is a broad question but I'm in law school and I've always had this closet dream of working in hockey but I don't tell many people about it
thanks
First, you'll need to have some physical alterations done, which shouldn't be to drastic as you've probably prepare for a few when you decided to become a lawyer.
Essentially, what it boils down to is, you'll need scales, two very long top teeth, a forked tongue, and venom sacs.
You will no longer require the use of your arms and legs, and you will need to memorize some key lines before your interviews. Some (but not all) are as follows:
"My client is insulted."
"My client simply is looking for the respect he deserves at this point in his career."
"I haven't heard anything, and as far as I'm concerned the ball is in their court."
"If you look at what other players are signing for around the league, I think it's a reasonable position."
"Europe is an excellent option for my client."
"Elite third-liners deserve elite third-line money. Look at Kesler, for example..."
And when there's another lockout, and you're asked for your opinion on things, you only need to know one line:
"Nobody put a gun to the owners' heads; they don't have to sign players for these ridiculous amounts, and frankly, I don't understand why they do."
