Neil K. Sheehy approaches player representation with the same energy and determination that had pushed him to the highest levels of professional hockey. Sheehys storied hockey career took him from International Falls to Harvard where he played for the Crimson. A rugged defenseman, he featured prominently on the U.S. National Team (co-captain and MVP), Calgary Flames and Washington Capitals. When Sheehy decided to guide other players into pro hockey careers, he had gained the respect of NHL general managers and NHL hockey personnel, plus the expertise to advise players on what it takes to reach the top. Understanding the complex business situations inherent to collective bargaining and contract issues, Sheehy earned his J.D. from William Mitchell College of Law in 1996.

MISSION

MISSION

In the often confusing, conflicting world of professional sports, choosing an agent is a pivotal step for a young athlete, particularly in hockey, because many agents are not hockey people with any "real" knowledge or experience in the game. For every story about a big contract or clever manipulation, there are dozens of cases where a player's future is inhibited by an agent's inattention, lack of awareness of rules or stipulations, lack of personal contact and support, or failure to follow-up once the commission is in the bank. Sheehy Hockey is dedicated to personalized representation that makes a difference not only in a player’s career, but in their overall future.
