From Draft Day to Game Day, Always Ready.

Trades, border crossings and seven Canadian clubs. VeloVisa starts a traded player's paperwork the day of the deal and checks every I-94 on the way back in.

Seven Canadian teams. 82 games. We track the border so you can track the puck.

  • 40%of NHL players are Canadian. No consulate, but judged at the border
  • 7Canadian clubs put a border crossing in almost every week of the season
  • Each entrywrites a new I-94. The I-94, not the visa, decides how long a player can stay
  • Trade dayA player traded to a US club needs an approved petition before he plays

League figures: NHL 2025-26 rosters

The clock starts at the trade call. So does ours.

On a Canadian club, a player can play road games in the US without a US petition. Traded to a US club, he can't play until one is approved. USCIS sets the approval clock. VeloVisa makes sure it starts tomorrow, not next week.
