WHO IS BENCH & BOARDS?

Bench & Boards Group provides comprehensive representation and strategic advisory services to hockey coaches and executives—grounded in straightforward, relationship-driven counsel.

Backed by decades spent inside professional hockey—as NHL front-office executives, scouts, and in the player-agent business—we use that experience to win in negotiations, structure smarter contracts, and leverage the market to protect your long-term interests. Our relationships span the game from major juniors to the NCAA to the NHL.

We’re relentless about helping our clients secure the right role—and thrive in it.

Personalized strategies for your present and future.

Contract negotiations & structuring

We advise coaches and executives through contract negotiations with a focus on clarity, authority, and long-term protection. Every agreement is structured to reflect the realities of the role — not just the compensation.


Public relations

We provide discreet guidance on communication and reputation, ensuring our clients are positioned with credibility and consistency across the industry.

Strategic planning

We help clients plan careers with intention — evaluating opportunities, managing transitions, and positioning for long-term success in an evolving hockey landscape.


Experienced legal expertise

We coordinate with trusted legal and tax professionals to ensure contracts are compliant, well-structured, and built with the full scope of cross-border and regulatory considerations in mind.
