SERGE GERVAIS

Serge Gervais
Co-Founder

Hockey has been part of Serge’s life for more than 40 years as a player, coach, manager, league administrator and scout.

His evaluation approach looks beyond statistics to understand the complete player — hockey IQ, competitiveness, character, decision-making, consistency and development potential.

Serge focuses on what a player can become, not simply what they are today.

BACKGROUND & SCOUTING PHILOSOPHY

More than 40 years in hockey.

  • More than 40 years of hockey experience as a player, coach, manager, league administrator and scout.
  • Evaluates the complete player beyond statistics, focusing on hockey IQ, competitiveness, character, decision-making, consistency and development potential.
  • Believes scouting is about identifying what a player can become, not simply evaluating what they are today.
  • Focuses on details that can be overlooked: reading the game, responding under pressure, competing without the puck, interacting with teammates and coaches, and adapting to different situations.
  • Combines hockey experience, live observation, video evaluation and analysis to identify strengths, development areas and long-term potential.
  • Brings more than a decade of experience working with young people, strengthening his understanding of player development, leadership and coachability.
  • Has experience overseeing a 10-team hockey league, providing an organizational perspective on player development and team fit.
  • Emphasizes finding the right fit between the player and the organization—not simply identifying the most talented player.
  • At CADIG, combines live and video scouting, analytics and hockey intelligence to provide independent and objective player evaluations.
  • Core philosophy: determine who a player can become and how that player can ultimately help an organization.

Scouting Excellence. Hockey Intelligence.
