Get Started
Founded by Colby Drost in early 2019, Paragon Sports Consulting has quickly become an industry leader. PSC has placed players in the NCAA, USHL, NAHL, BCHL, AJHL, and in elite prep schools and midget hockey programs. In just under 2 years, Colby has helped players earn more than $10 million in scholarships. On average, PSC clients who commit to DI programs earn over $180,000 in scholarship.
Colby has more than 24 years of experience in hockey. He was a goaltender for 17 years before entering the hockey business at the age of 18. Over the last 10 years, he has held various roles in coaching, scouting, and hockey operations in midget, prep, junior, and college hockey. He has built an extensive network of contacts at every level throughout North America.
From 2015-2019, Colby was the Director of Scouting for the Dubuque Fighting Saints of the United States Hockey League. He worked closely with the team’s General Manager and helped the Fighting Saints to a record of 144-99-20-10. During his tenure, the Fighting Saints produced 19 NHL draft picks and more than 80 NCAA DI commitments. Colby was instrumental in building the 2019-2020 team that finished 33-13-2-0 and identified Dubuque’s star Riese Gaber, the USHL’s 2019-2020 Player of the Year and Forward of the Year.
From 2013-2017, Colby worked with the Skipjacks Hockey Program’s midget and junior teams.
Colby recruited 21 players who committed to NCAA DI programs In addition, in 2015-2016, Colby was the assistant coach and recruiting coordinator at Skidmore College. In one season, he recruited 13 student-athletes who helped the program reach national ranking in 2016-17 for only the second time in school history.
Colby graduated cum laude with a B.A. in History from the University of New England and received his Master of Legal Studies from Northeastern University. Colby has also studied Intellectual Property at the Harvard Summer School and received his certificate of completion for Negotiation Mastery from Harvard Business School.

Career Path | Process
We value our clients’ careers and handle them with the utmost care. We believe it is our duty to provide timely, accurate, and honest feedback to our clients in order to help them navigate their careers effectively and efficiently. The information we gather on our clients allows us to create player-specific career plans.
We only place our players in situations where they are most likely to succeed on the ice, in the classroom, and in the community. We provide families with the information and data we believe supports our advice and the recommendations we make. This is vital because it enables families to make informed decisions at each step in the process.
Academics
Academics are extremely important. One of the first things we do with new clients is request their transcripts. We understand that each player’s academic potential is different. So, we assess this potential in order to determine the best opportunities for our clients. We evaluate transcripts and SAT/ACT scores to help families set goals and understand how these numbers will affect the player’s options.
