“A man’s got to do what a man’s got to do,” John Wayne’s character mused in the 1939 film, “Stagecoach”. In Ron Salcer’s case, that means taking on zealous fans, the local media, even crooked executives, all in order to defend his principles.
Salcer, who runs Icy Luck, Inc. out of Manhattan Beach, CA, represents Marian [...]

On October 13, 2008 Gary Bettman stated the NHL is still in growth mode despite the global economic downturn.

For the past few weeks, one of the hot topics in hockey circles has been the stream of NHL talent heading across the Atlantic to join teams in the new Russian Kontinental Hockey League (KHL). Players leaving the NHL to play in Europe is nothing new. Leagues in Sweden, Switzerland, Russia, Germany, and other countries [...]

Trying a slightly new format here for a change.  Do you like it organized by category below?  Anyway, a ton going on in this very busy summer.  As I am sure you are aware, Dynasty acquired an agency that represents coaches.  We have additionally begun our recruiting efforts in football and basketball.  Dan Leatherman continues [...]

On July 1st, millions upon millions of dollars will be spent by NHL clubs looking to strengthen their teams for a run at the Stanley Cup. But only one of those teams will make the acquisition that will win them the Cup. Last season, the Detroit Red Wings’ decision to sign defenseman Brian Rafalski played [...]

Current MBA/J.D. student and avid reader of SportsAgentBlog.com, Jared March, decided to write a guest contribution after Kenji’s Love On Ice post and its controversial comments:
