SMWW’s Hockey Career Conference at the 2022 NHL Entry Draft in Montreal, Quebec, Canada

SMWW's Hockey Career Conference helps sports professional prospects set the stage for meeting their career goals.

MONTREAL, QUEBEC, CANADA , June 28, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ -- After a two-year hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Sports Management Worldwide (SMWW) will return for the 14th edition of its Hockey Career Conference, July 6, 2022, thru July 8, 2022, in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, during the National Hockey League (NHL) Draft.

Despite the NHL Draft being sold out, SMWW's Hockey Career Conference participants will receive 100-level tickets for the two-day event (July 7, 2022 & July 8, 2022) included in their registration. They will get the opportunity to meet players, coaches, execs, and the commissioner up close and personal. To register, go to SMWW's Hockey Career Conference's webpage.

"Our NHL Draft Career Conference provides an invaluable opportunity for attendees to learn about careers in the NHL while networking with some of the biggest names in the industry," says Dr. Lynn Lashbrook, SMWW president and founder.

The NHL Draft itself is an exciting sporting event beyond measure. When the hometown Canadiens won the number one overall pick at this year's lottery draft, it sold out within minutes. Hundreds of thousands of hockey fans from all over the globe were said to have logged in for a chance to grab tickets to the Bell Centre to watch the parade of young professional hockey prospects see their dreams come true by getting selected to play for an NHL team.

The yearly SMWW's Hockey Career Conference consists of speakers from all corners of the hockey industry (NHL, AHL, and CHL/QMJHL), from general managers to coaches to scouts, players, and even members of the media to help participants start or advance their hockey careers. These are some of the conference participants' first steps toward figuring out which career path is right for them and where they will see themselves in the world of hockey.
