Business ProfileforJDM Sports

STAY AWAY FROM JDM Sports! They encouraged our 16 yr old son to join an academy stating how great this team would be for his exposure. Immediately, it was a horrible placement as they only played our son 2 out of 14 games! Most games our son was told to do team stats in the bleachers. Hoping to resolve this issue, we worked with our family advisor at JDM Sports to talk with the team. Not only was our family advisor *********, but he only took the team's side. We wondered why our family advisor was only seeming to defend the team rather than us. So, I asked him have you accepted any payback or kickback from the team when our son signed? He was quiet then answered, I cant disclose that information. We asked the owner if his employee ever accepted a payment or kickback and he ignored our question. Just like a realtor, if you are representing a client (buyer / seller), you are required to have full disclosure of who you are representing. In this case, JDM was certainly representing the best interest of the team and not our son. They seemed to care more about future kickbacks from this team. And for the final shock of all of this, after we pulled our son from the team we found out from ************* Hockey that our son was never actually on the team roster and should have never played at all!! When we told the owner of JDM about this he completely minimized my concerns and emailed me Ive been doing this full time since 2006 no player playing hockey doesnt face tuff times this is not for everyone. We have been with JDM for less than 1 year and have asked for a refund. They have refused to refund us. I think in this situation, doing the right thing would be giving our money back. For potential new clients, make sure to ask if they accept kickbacks from teams your child signs with. Also, we have heard good companies will only charge once a year. This way there is some accountability of earning your loyalty to the company. JDM makes you pay for 5 years!
