Zach was incredible from the moment we began to work with him. He personally talked to all the division 1 schools in the USA, as well as several Canadian universities. As a result of Zach’s hard work, Brendan received more attention from division 1 schools than any other year he played at the Junior A level. Brendan and his coach spoke to several schools who showed interest, but with the restrictions in place due to Covid 19, and very limited oppmiunity to display his abilities, Division 1 was unfmtunately no longer an option. Zach continued to push on, and contacted all the Division 3 schools, speaking with them personally about Brendan’s qualities as a player. Brendan had 14 schools contact him within a week and none of this would have been possible if Zach hadn’t done such an amazing job. My son was able to choose a school that was the best fit for his educational goals as well as his hockey goals.
This process is extremely difficult to maneuver on your own, and without Zach’s expertise, I firmly believe Brendan would not be playing hockey at a Division 3 school, let alone the school of his choice. Zach was always available when we needed him and would communicate with us consistently through the process; always keeping us updated on his progress. He went above and beyond to provide the best possible service and experience for our family.

Over the past few years, I have worked with Zach and his team recruiting players for the Notre Dame Hounds (SJHL). When working with his group we always know we are getting the truth and players that compete at the next level. As they know the value in this to further their hockey careers. If you are looking for a group to put your player in situations to succeed as a person and a player, trust Visionary Sports.

Zach has gone above and beyond since day one for his clients. He keeps a great line of communication open between athlete, advisor, and coach. Zach and the Visionary Sports team are focused on developing the hockey player, but more importantly developing the individual with life skills he will hold on to forever.

Dealing with Blake has always been a great experience. Blake’s knowledge of this business and his honesty has been a help for myself and taking my boys to where they want to be with their education and hockey. Blake is easy to reach if either myself or my sons have any questions, and if we can’t reach him, he gets back to us in a timely matter. Blake is an advisor who I trust for my boy’s future.

I have been working with Blake Blondeel as my advisor. Through this time that I have been working with him, I have gained more insights on how to market myself and my abilities as a hockey player, while also being a student athlete. Blake has consistently been engaged with me, whether it was giving me things I can do to further market myself to Junior A teams, or just checking in to see how I am doing. He often checks in and also gives me tasks to finish that can further market myself to teams and scouts. Education is also another aspect Blake takes very seriously. He often works with me to make sure that I am keeping my grades up and has pushed me to attempt to keep a 90% average in my classes to keep doors open for my NCAA pursuits.
