IN CONTRACTS
Edge Sports Management staff is involved with the player and his family at every step of the way. At ESM, your agent will be with you from the beginning of your career to the end, and you will not be handed off from a recruiter or associate. ESM realizes and embraces the fact that our responsibilities go far beyond contracts. It is our responsibility to create a relationship that transcends the sport and be involved with the player and their families at every stage of their career as well as lives.

Professional Services
A professional hockey career can be very exciting, but the financial aspects that come with it can be very complex. Professional athletes face tax issues and have legal responsibilities that most people do not encounter in their lives. Also, athletes can earn large sums of money over relatively short careers, making it imperative to invest and insure assets strategically. At Edge Sports Management, negotiating a contract is just the beginning of a wide array of services that we provide extending to all areas important to a professional athlete.
