Riga Hockey Cup and Elite Prospects have started a milestone collaboration aimed at strengthening youth hockey development and increasing international visibility for young players. Through this partnership, Riga Hockey Cup will become one of the first European youth ice hockey tournaments to be integrated into the Elite Prospects system — the world’s leading and most trusted hockey database.

This partnership represents a major step forward in youth player development, giving young athletes competing at the Riga Hockey Cup the opportunity to build verified, professional-style player profiles. With the support of Elite Prospects system, players will be able to track their development over time and present themselves more professionally to scouts, clubs, and hockey organizations worldwide.

As part of the collaboration, Elite Prospects will help Riga Hockey Cup with the verification of our players' profiles with them — an added quality assurance and visibility benefit for both the players and their teams and clubs. You may, therefore, receive emails from Elite Prospects going forward. If for any reason you do not wish to have your profile verified, please let us know via club@eliteprospects.com.
