EPH Showcase 2008

The European Professional Hockey Showcase is an end of season Free Agent Camp put on by Nadeau Sports Management to place new and current clients directly on European Professional teams from 10 Different Countries. Most Free Agent Showcase Camps are during the summer months and as a result, most import spots are usually already filled at that time. We are offering a unique opportunity to showcase your abilities to become one of our professional clients and tryout directly for Coaches and Management who are looking for new imports for the 2008-09 season.

This will not be an open tryout, we will be limiting Showcase Camp placements. The majority of the showcase roster will come from Nadeau Sports existing clientele. We will also select players to attend that we hope to sign and promote as our new clients who will have a chance to directly earn a professional contract at our Showcase camp.

The Showcase is 3 days of skills workouts and scrimmages.  During the showcase participants will be evaluated directly by Nadeau Sports staff, professional coaches and professional management.
