Our Team
The People Behind HC Sports Management
HC Sports Management was founded in 2014 with a straightforward goal: give hockey families access to the kind of honest, experienced guidance that has historically been available only to elite prospects with existing connections to the game.
Founder and Managing Director
Christopher Hills
Christopher founded HC Sports Management in 2014 and serves as the lead advisor across both the men's and women's programs. He brings more than 20 years of experience in hockey, business ownership, and contract negotiation, and has been directly involved in placing players at every level of the game, from AAA/Prep through NCAA Division I and the professional ranks.
A graduate of Roger Williams University with a degree in Pre-Law, Christopher has built and operated multiple businesses and has coached at the junior and collegiate levels.
Christopher personally manages all aspects of HC Sports Management, including player development advisory, program evaluation, NCAA recruiting, and professional contract work.
Advisor, West Coast
Jacob Loman
Jacob leads advisory for clients on the West Coast of the United States and Canada. His knowledge of the western hockey landscape, including the WHL, BCHL, and western junior and prep programs, gives HC Sports a genuine regional presence.
Jacob holds a BA in Business Administration from Eastern Washington University and has worked inside professional hockey organizations, including time with the Tri-City Americans of the Western Hockey League.
Women's Program Director and Goalie Advisor
Ava Hills
Ava leads the HC Sports Management Women's Program, working directly with female players and their families through every stage of the advisory process. She brings a perspective difficult to replicate: she is an active NCAA Division I goaltender for Bemidji State University.
That firsthand experience with recruiting and the transition to college hockey informs everything she does. Ava is also a Business Finance major, reflecting the same dual focus on hockey and long-term planning that defines the HC Sports approach.
