I would recomend a few things. firstly you should put together a resume, stats, age, photo, personal bio. Secondly you should figure out what u want from europe experiance. if you just came from juniors im guessing that you will not be making a lot of money. i think some n. americans think there is just tons and tons of $$$ here. Most of the players making top $ are NHL caliber or extremely close. Thirdly you should figure out where you want to play and what league. Once you have figured that out fax your resume to all the teams in the league. Fourth you should look for an agent. i can think of two younger agents that are looking and signing players HPA (www.hockeyplayersagency.com) and Soren Schwartz (dont remember the website). These agents can help you. Remember most of the lower leagues in europe are not a pure professional league, meaning that most of the players have another job, wish you the best of luck!
