Top Shelf Private Wealth delivers a coordinated, fiduciary family-office framework built specifically for the realities of a professional hockey career.
Our services are not offered individually. Planning, tax strategy, investment management, and cash-flow systems are designed to work together—during your playing years and long after they end.
Professional hockey careers create financial complexity that cannot be solved with isolated advice.
Top Shelf Private Wealth serves as a centralized financial hub, aligning every major decision under one coordinated strategy. The goal is consistency, efficiency, and long-term durability—regardless of income swings, team changes, or career transitions.

Tax planning coordinated for careers that cross borders and jurisdictions. U.S.–Canada tax and residency strategy. Multi-state and multi-province filing coordination. Jock tax exposure and team-change implications.
Systems designed for variable and seasonal income. Structuring salary, bonuses, and playoff income. Integrating endorsements and off-ice earnings. Managing liquidity and spending across seasons.
Coordinated planning for income beyond the rink. Structuring sponsorship and endorsement income. Entity formation for businesses and investments. Integration of real estate and ownership interests.
Investment strategies aligned with career stage and risk exposure. Long-term portfolios designed for income volatility. Liquidity planning tied to career timeline. Assets custodied at Altruist, with no commissions or product sales.
Long-term planning for life after hockey. Income replacement and financial independence planning. Investment and estate coordination. Legacy and multi-generational wealth considerations.
