About us
Story of Vaculik Hockey
Vaculik Hockey was founded with one simple goal: to give players the honest guidance and opportunities they deserve. After years of working in junior hockey operations and recruitment, our team saw firsthand how players and families often struggled to navigate a system that sometimes prioritized profit over development. We knew there had to be a better way.
Our journey began with two different paths that came together through a shared passion for the game. Ondrej Vaculik grew up in the Czech Republic, where he won a U18 national championship and went on to play junior and professional hockey in Europe and North America. His experience across international hockey systems gave him a unique perspective on how players can transition between leagues and countries.
Alex Magi brought a background in sport management and more than seven years of experience in junior hockey programs across Canada. His focus on player recruitment and operations gave him an inside look at how organizations functionโand where players often needed stronger advocacy.
Together, we created Vaculik Hockey to bridge that gap. By combining North American and European experience, we help players find the right fitโwhether itโs junior, college, or professional hockey. Our philosophy is simple: every player deserves a trusted advisor who puts their development, future, and well-being first.
Today, Vaculik Hockey continues to grow with players and families who share that vision. Our role is not just about placementsโitโs about mentorship, building careers, and creating lifelong opportunities in the game.
Mission
At Vaculik Hockey, our mission is to guide athletes through every stage of their hockey journey with honesty, expertise, and care. We believe that every player deserves trusted support that prioritizes their development, growth, and future in the game. By combining our experience in North American and European hockey systems, we provide players and families with the knowledge, connections, and opportunities they need to succeed.
Our role goes beyond simply finding placementsโwe are mentors, advisors, and advocates who help players understand their options, make informed decisions, and prepare for the challenges of junior, collegiate, and professional hockey. Whether itโs creating exposure through scouting networks, navigating contracts, or offering day-to-day support, we are committed to being a reliable partner in each athleteโs growth.
Our mission is rooted in one belief: when players are given the right guidance and opportunities, they not only reach their potential on the ice but also build lasting character and confidence off of it.
Vision
Our vision at Vaculik Hockey is to be a trusted leader in player advising and representation worldwide, recognized for building meaningful relationships and opening doors for athletes at every level of the game. We aspire to create an environment where players and families feel supported, informed, and empowered to pursue their goals with confidence.
With experience across both North American and European hockey systems, we provide athletes with opportunities that match their ambitions and potential. Our focus is on long-term development, integrity, and ensuring every player has the guidance they need to succeed on and off the ice.

Story
Ondrej Vaculik
Co-Founder, Agent and Advisor
I started my hockey journey with HC Motor Ceske Budejovice in Czechia, where I had the privilege of winning the U18 national championship and playing several successful games with the โAโ professional team. After spending 14 years in Czechia, I decided to take on a new challenge with the San Diego Sabers in California, USA, where I became the teamโs top scorer.โ
My North American journey continued in Ontario, Canada, with the Bancroft Rockhounds, where I once again led as the teamโs top scorer and was drafted 13th overall. After my junior years, I moved on to minor pro hockey in the USA, playing for Binghamton.โ
Eventually, I returned to Europe, where I spent two seasons in Germany and had the opportunity to play in the top Hungarian-Romanian Erste Liga. These experiences have fueled my passion for the game and inspired me to help others achieve their hockey dreams.
Why Choose us?
At Vaculik Hockey, we understand the challenges and opportunities in hockey because we’ve lived them. Founded by Ondrej Vaculik, a former professional hockey player with 21 years of on-ice experience, our company is born out of a deep passion for the game and a commitment to helping the next generation of players succeed.โ
After Ondrej Vaculik’s successful career, including winning the Czechia U18 Championship. Becoming the top scorer of San Diego Sabers and Bancroft Rockhounds (drafted 13th overall), the transition from player to advisor was a natural one.
