The Portal for Tier I Recruits
Guiding student-athletes on and off the ice.
At Tier I Portal, we recognize and elevate boys’ hockey players who demonstrate talent, character, and academic commitment. Our goal is to ensure every family has a proactive strategy and credible guidance as their athlete navigates key stages of development.
Younger Tier (Grades 7–11):
We identify emerging hockey players ready for exposure to Prep School and Academy opportunities across North America. Our portal provides early recognition, proactive promotion, and education to families on how to align their player’s skill set and academics with the right environment for growth.
Older Tier (Grades 11-12 or PG & Ages 17–20 playing Junior Hockey):
For athletes pursuing NCAA or ACHA pathways, our focus is on academic planning, professional presentation, and exposure to programs that fit both athletic ability and educational goals. We help families understand their options, build credible materials, and navigate the process with confidence and direction.
We are not a placement agency.
Tier I Portal does not promise placement — we provide the strategy, structure, and credibility that make opportunity possible. Our purpose is to highlight and support student-athletes so they can confidently pursue the right path on and off the ice.
