RUSH Player Evaluation & Mentorship

Level 1 – Player Evaluation – $59

WHERE DO YOU ACTUALLY FIT?

At its core, the RUSH Player Evaluation answers one important question:

Where does your game currently fit compared with the other players around you?

Think of it like a draft.

Girls’ youth hockey does not have a traditional player draft, but imagine for a moment that it did.

If evaluators watched the players at your age and competitive level and had to make selections, where would you fall?

Would you be one of the stronger selections?

Somewhere in the middle?

On the bubble?

Or are there areas of your game that would currently keep you from being selected?

That is essentially what we are trying to help you understand.

RUSH will review your game footage and provide a straightforward scouting-style assessment.

We will tell you what stands out positively.

We will tell you what stands out negatively.

And most importantly:

We will tell you where we believe the player currently fits.

YOUR PLAYER EVALUATION INCLUDES

1. Evaluation of submitted game footage
2. A concise scouting-style written report
3. Identification of the player’s strongest attributes
4. Identification of areas currently hurting or limiting her game
5. An honest assessment of her overall performance
6. Perspective on where her current game fits relative to the competitive field
7. The player evaluation includes the review of 1 complete game.

The player must be clearly viewable in the footage and normal delivery will be within 10 business days, after acceptable footage is received.

IMPORTANT: The evaluation is based on the game footage submitted by the family. RUSH can only evaluate what is visible in that footage, and the assessment reflects the player’s performance during the footage reviewed.

This is intentionally a straightforward evaluation.

It is not an extensive development plan or detailed breakdown of every part of the player’s game.

If you want to understand much more about why the player is evaluated where she is and exactly what she should work on to move forward, the Advanced Evaluation is the better option.

STOP GUESSING. FIND OUT WHERE YOU FIT.

Upgrade within 7 days: if you decide that you want the more detailed, advanced evaluation after receiving Level 1, your $59 payment will be credited towards Level 2.

Level 2 – Advanced Evaluation – $149

DON’T JUST FIND OUT WHERE YOU STAND. UNDERSTAND WHY.

The Advanced Evaluation includes everything in the Player Evaluation — but that is only the starting point.

We still answer:

Where does this player currently fit compared with the competitive field?

Then we go much deeper.

Why is she evaluated there?

What parts of her game are helping her?

What is keeping her from being evaluated higher?

What would a coach, scout, or evaluator notice?

What separates her from players performing at the next level?

And most importantly:

WHAT SHOULD SHE ACTUALLY DO ABOUT IT?

The Advanced Evaluation is for serious players and families who don’t simply want a verdict.

They want to understand the reasons behind it.

YOUR ADVANCED EVALUATION INCLUDES

Everything included in the Player Evaluation, plus:

1. Detailed analysis of the player’s overall performance
2. Position-specific evaluation, including how an experienced scout would assess the player
3. Skating observations within game situations
4. Puck management and puck decision analysis
5. Hockey awareness and decision-making analysis
6. Compete, pace, and engagement observations
7. Positional habits and responsibilities
8. Detailed identification of the player’s strongest attributes
9. Identification of habits or weaknesses that may be limiting advancement
10. Comparison with relevant competitive expectations
11. Explanation of what may be separating the player from the next level
12. Personalized development priorities
13. Specific recommendations for what to work on next and why
14. A detailed written evaluation and development plan

GAME FOOTAGE

The Advanced Evaluation includes the review of up to two complete games submitted by the family.

The player must be clearly identified in the footage. Whenever possible, families should submit games that show the player in different situations and provide a fair representation of her normal performance.

RUSH may request different footage if the games submitted do not provide enough opportunity to evaluate the player properly.

Normal delivery will be within 10 business days, after acceptable footage is received.

 

LEVEL 1 TELLS YOU WHERE YOU STAND.

LEVEL 2 TELLS YOU WHY — AND WHAT TO DO NEXT.

Many players work extremely hard without knowing whether they are working on the things that will make the greatest difference.

A player can spend hundreds of hours training something that is already a strength while overlooking the two or three things evaluators notice every time she steps on the ice.

That is where the deeper evaluation becomes valuable.

The goal is to answer two questions:

What is preventing me from being viewed differently?

And:

Where should I put my time, effort, and development dollars if I want to change that?

WHAT LEVEL 2 DOES NOT INCLUDE

The Advanced Evaluation is a detailed one-time assessment and development plan.

It does not include ongoing meetings, unlimited questions, continued evaluation throughout the season or help adjusting the plan as circumstances change.

Families wanting RUSH involved after the evaluation should apply for RUSH Elite Mentorship.

CONTINUE WITH RUSH

If the family is accepted into Elite Mentorship within 14 days of receiving the Advanced Evaluation, the $149 Advanced Evaluation fee will be credited toward the paid-in-full mentorship price.

FIND OUT WHERE YOU STAND. UNDERSTAND WHY. KNOW WHAT NEEDS TO CHANGE.

Level 3 – RUSH Elite Mentorship – $899

PUT RUSH IN YOUR CORNER FOR 8 MONTHS

The Advanced Evaluation can tell you where the player stands and what needs to improve.

But hockey development does not stop when the report is delivered.

Players improve.

Problems appear.

Confidence changes.

Coaching situations change.

Tryouts and team opportunities arise.

Recruiting questions come up.

Sometimes the development plan itself needs to change.

That is why mentorship is different.

Instead of receiving our opinion once, you have RUSH involved throughout the process for eight months.

This is our most comprehensive level of support for committed players and families who want an experienced hockey resource in their corner throughout the season.

YOUR 8-MONTH RUSH ELITE MENTORSHIP INCLUDES

COMPREHENSIVE STARTING EVALUATION

The mentorship begins with a comprehensive assessment and clear development priorities.

We establish where the player currently stands, what is helping her game, what is holding her back, and what needs the greatest attention.

Then we continue to evaluate and adjust throughout the mentorship.

The starting evaluation establishes the player’s initial development plan and becomes the foundation for the 8-month mentorship.

PRIVATE WHATSAPP GROUP ACCESS FOR 8 MONTHS

Hockey questions don’t always happen on meeting days.

A coaching issue comes up.

A team opportunity appears.

A camp invitation arrives.

The player has a difficult weekend.

A parent wants another perspective before making a decision.

When something happens, you don’t have to wait until the next scheduled meeting. Message your private RUSH WhatsApp group and talk to us about it.

Players and parents can use the group to ask questions, share updates, and discuss situations as they arise.

And the communication goes both ways.

You can reach out when something happens, and RUSH stays involved throughout the process rather than simply waiting for the next formal meeting.

WHATSAPP GUIDELINES

The private WhatsApp group is intended for focused questions, important updates and hockey situations that arise between scheduled meetings.

RUSH normally responds within two business days.

WhatsApp access does not include immediate or emergency availability, unlimited telephone calls, additional unscheduled meetings or extensive daily conversations.

This access applies to the player and her immediate parent or guardian. It cannot be shared with teammates, siblings or other families.

ONE 30-MINUTE PHONE CHECK-IN EVERY MONTH

Each month, the player and family receive a 30-minute individual phone check-in. The checkin must involve the player and parent.

This is the shorter monthly touchpoint to discuss how things are going, what’s changed, current concerns, and anything that needs attention.

Over eight months, that provides:

Eight individual 30-minute check-ins.

ONE 60-MINUTE DEVELOPMENT MEETING EVERY MONTH

Each month, the player and family also receive one 60 minute Zoom or Google Meet development meeting. The meeting must involve the player and parent.

This is where we go deeper.

Discussions may include:

• Progress since the previous meeting
• Recent game performance
• Video review when appropriate
• Current development priorities
• Training focus
• Recurring habits
• Confidence and preparation
• Coaching or team situations
• Upcoming tryouts and opportunities
• Recruiting or pathway questions when appropriate
• Changes to the player’s development plan
• Goals for the next month

VIDEO REVIEW DURING MENTORSHIP

Selected game clips and footage may be reviewed when relevant to the player’s current development priorities.

The mentorship does not automatically include a new complete-game evaluation every month. Any extensive additional footage review will be discussed with the family before the work is completed.

This prevents eight families from each sending several games every month and expecting unlimited analysis.

Over eight months, that provides:

Eight individual one-hour development meetings.

WHAT THE COMMUNICATION LOOKS LIKE

ONGOING — WHATSAPP GROUP

Questions, updates, situations, and conversations as things happen.

MONTHLY — 30-MINUTE CHECK-IN

A focused conversation about how things are going and anything requiring attention.

MONTHLY — 60-MINUTE DEVELOPMENT MEETING

A deeper discussion about progress, performance, priorities, and what should happen next.

The mentorship gives you both: access when things happen and scheduled time to step back and look at the bigger picture.

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN AN EVALUATION AND MENTORSHIP

An evaluation gives you a snapshot.

Mentorship allows us to watch what happens next.

Did the player improve?

Did the changes work?

Has her competitive standing changed?

Does the development plan need to change?

Does an opportunity make sense?

Instead of receiving a report and being left to figure everything out yourself, you have an experienced hockey resource helping you navigate the next eight months.

MEETING AND SCHEDULING POLICY

All check-ins and development meetings must be scheduled and completed during the active eight-month mentorship period.

Unused meetings do not carry beyond the end of the program and have no cash value.

Meetings may be rescheduled with at least 24 hours’ notice. Missed meetings and late cancellations may be considered used except in an emergency.

Mentorship applies to one identified player and cannot be transferred to another player or family.

 

WHAT RUSH ELITE MENTORSHIP DOES NOT GUARANTEE

RUSH provides honest evaluation, experienced guidance and ongoing support. However, no evaluator or mentorship program can guarantee:

• Team selection
• Playing time
• Advancement to a higher level
• College recruitment
• An athletic scholarship
• Invitations from teams, schools or coaches
• A particular development outcome

The player and family remain responsible for their decisions, participation, effort and results.

 

LEVEL 1 TELLS YOU WHERE YOU STAND.

LEVEL 2 TELLS YOU WHY — AND WHAT TO DO NEXT.

LEVEL 3 HELPS YOU DO IT.

 

Because Elite Mentorship includes ongoing individual access and scheduled one-on-one time, enrollment is limited. Applications are reviewed to make sure the program is appropriate for the player and family.
