I know what it’s like to be the 16-year-old away from home, and the 21-year-old wondering what’s next. That’s why we built Elevate.

Billy Jenkins
Founder & President

What really separates Elevate from the rest is the personal side of things. We’re all former players who understand the highs and the lows of a playing career—and how critical it is to have someone to lean on week after week during those tough stretches.

Having all played at the semi-professional and professional levels, our network of connections built over the years is astronomical: OHL General Managers, NCAA Division I & III coaches, USports programs, DEL, EBEL, EIHL, ECHL, AHL, and NHL scouts.

We take pride in doing it the right way: through integrity, hard work, and treating everyone with respect. We demand that all players we work with conduct themselves the same way on and off the ice. Not only will you be given every opportunity to succeed on the ice—you will grow as a human off the ice, which is equally important.

INTEGRITY
We tell the truth, even when it's hard.
HARD WORK
We outwork everyone for our athletes.
RESPECT
For the game, our partners, and each other.
GROWTH
A better player. A better human.

5 YEARS
OHL Career
2ND RD
OHL Pick
10+ YRS
Agent Exp

Growing up in the Ottawa Valley playing for the Ottawa Valley Titans, Bill’s journey is the definition of earning it. A 2nd round OHL pick, he went on to a 5-year OHL career with the Niagara IceDogs and Kingston Frontenacs—learning firsthand the pressure, politics, and pride of major junior hockey.

Following junior, Bill earned a 3-year career at Lakehead University, balancing high-level USports hockey with achieving his degree. It was there his perspective changed. Unfortunately, injuries derailed Bill's playing career but opened the door to his true calling.

For the last 10 years, Bill has fully dedicated his life to being a premier player agent and family advisor. From Ontario to across North America and beyond, he has helped some of the best players achieve their goals, grow as young men and women, and get to the next level—whether that’s getting drafted, earning an NCAA commitment, or signing pro contracts.
