About Maloney & Thompson Sports Management

Maloney & Thompson Sports Management is a Guelph-based hockey agency with roots going back to 1982 and a self-described record of more than four decades in the business. Founder Roland Thompson remains listed as an agency partner, while Andrew Maloney and Dave Maloney are the main NHLPA-certified Maloney partners. The agency’s model starts early, advising players and families in minor and junior hockey before moving into professional contract, tax, financial, and endorsement management. Its public services list includes contract negotiations, NHLPA-certified representation, draft preparation, NCAA family advising, video review, skills development, sports nutrition, marketing, endorsements, mental coaching, tax planning, and post-career transition planning. The agency is especially visible in Ontario and the CHL pipeline, with Easton Cowan, Ryan Roobroeck, Ty Nelson, Dylan Roobroeck, Landon Sim, and other junior-to-pro players appearing in recent public contract or prospect records. Maloney & Thompson also has an unusually broad European collaborator grid for a Canadian boutique/mid-size firm, with named partners in Germany, Switzerland, Sweden, Finland, Czech Republic, and Slovakia. That network supports placement and career planning across North America and Europe, which fits the agency’s statement that it represents professional players across eight countries. Its current NHL contract book is prospect-heavy: PuckPedia lists 18 active NHL contracts, many of them entry-level contracts or short standard deals, worth $38.23M in total active value. The current public agency listing shows a wider roster of 240 total clients, 20 NHL clients, and 47 NHL-drafted clients as of May 5, 2026. The agency’s recent news flow highlights a development-first identity, including nine clients named to the 2026 IIHF U18 Worlds, Maddox Dagenais winning the QMJHL Mike Bossy Trophy, and Landon Sim signing a two-year ELC with Toronto. Maloney & Thompson is best described as a long-running Canadian hockey agency built around family advising, junior scouting, NHLPA contract execution, and cross-border European support rather than celebrity-style marketing.
