Your player's private recruiting command center.
An advisor in your corner from age fourteen to signing day.
Position, level, grades, goals, video, timeline. About ten minutes of questions becomes the profile everything else is built on.
Backcheck maps realistic reach, target, and development paths for your player specifically: their age, their level, their grades, their goals. It is not a template.
The roadmap becomes a week-by-week action plan with specific parent and player tasks, calibrated to where you are in the recruiting calendar.
Backcheck drafts personalized intro emails to specific coaches using the player's stats, video, and target school context. You review and send from your own inbox.
As stats, video, schools, and replies come in, the profile updates. Every feature re-calibrates automatically. The plan stays current as the player's situation evolves.
Every feature reads from the same player profile. The more complete the profile, the sharper every output becomes.
Maps the player's reach, target, and development paths through the recruiting horizon. Calibrated to level, academics, goals, and timeline. Re-generates when the profile changes.
Converts the roadmap into a week-by-week action plan with specific tasks for the player and the parent, matched to where you actually are in the recruiting calendar.
Drafts intro emails to specific coaches using the player's stats, video, and target school context. You review and send from your own inbox. Backcheck logs every send and follow-up.
Builds reach, target, and development fits filtered by hockey level, academic profile, geography, and goals. Every school comes with a reason it is on the list and a suggested first step.
A clear snapshot of where the player stands today: athletics, academics, and the recruiting timeline.
Tells the player and family exactly which clips to capture, how to structure the reel, and what coaches at the target level actually want to see.
A short weekly briefing with the top 3 priorities this week, pulled from the current plan, recent updates, and upcoming recruiting windows.
Open-ended Q&A grounded in the active player profile. Every answer is about your player's actual situation, not recruiting advice in general.
Once the profile is built, this is where your family works. Every module, every update, every plan in one place.
Backcheck was built by Noah de la Durantaye, former captain of Princeton men's hockey, to help families navigate the recruiting process with structure, honesty, and real context.
Most families don't need more noise. They need a clearer sense of where their player stands, what options are realistic, and what to do next.
I have been on both sides of the recruiting process. Before Princeton, I was the player trying to understand where I fit, when to contact coaches, what my reel should show, and which programs were actually realistic.
Most hockey families are forced into one of two bad options: expensive private advisors or generic recruiting platforms that create more noise than clarity.
I built Backcheck to close that gap. Families here get the structure, the context, and the honest read I wish my own family had, without the pressure and without the sales calls.
Turn those questions into a profile, a roadmap, and a weekly plan.
Every recommendation is calibrated to your player, not a generic age group or a marketing template. Honest enough to be useful. Optimistic enough to keep the player moving.
The repetitions that compound over years.
Create the profile first. Backcheck uses that to generate the roadmap, plan, school list, outreach, video guidance, and weekly digest.
Once you subscribe, every output is generated for your player from the profile you build with the Captain. Nothing here is a static example.
