Protecting the NHL Dream

For many junior hockey players, making the NHL isn’t just a dream — it’s the only path they’ve ever pursued. With the NHL Combine underway and the Entry Draft approaching, everything they’ve worked for is almost here.

But what happens if an unexpected injury or illness suddenly derails that dream?

Sports Disability insurance from Sutton Special Risk is designed to protect junior and college-aged players, NHL prospects, and professional athletes from career-ending setbacks. Our coverage provides financial support and much-needed time and space to recover and plan the next steps.

We offer specialized insurance policies that are tailored to a player’s career stage, draft status, and projected earnings:

• Junior hockey insurance starts as low as $500 for $150,000 in career-ending protection - an affordable, smart way for families to safeguard a player’s future.

• High-ranking NHL draft prospects may qualify for much higher amounts of income protection.

If you represent a player heading into the draft, talk to us about their insurance. One moment can change everything. With the right coverage, their dream stays protected.
