Earlier in his career, Foligno was determined to build his dream house on a lake in Sudbury, Ontario. But Moynes worried that he didn’t have enough liquid savings. At the time, labor issues were looming in the NHL, adding to the uncertainty. After a long discussion, Foligno reluctantly agreed to wait.

The decision proved prescient when NHL owners locked out players for almost half the 2012-2013 season. That meant several months without paychecks.

“He allows you to enjoy yourself -- hey it’s your money -- but the things that are not necessary or don’t jibe with the process you put in place, he is going to tell you that,’’ said Foligno.

Even after he signed a six-year, $33 million contract in 2014, Foligno said, Moynes didn’t change their financial plan. But the house is now built.

In August, the adviser and his 9-year-old son visited Foligno’s home, to talk finances and watch a charity hockey game that the Blue Jackets forward helps organize. The property is part of a family compound, which makes it easy for Moynes to check in on two other clients: Foligno’s younger brother, Marcus of the Minnesota Wild, and their father Mike, who played in the NHL for 15 seasons, mainly for the Buffalo Sabres.

High School Goalie

Moynes himself was a hockey player -- though any thought of sticking with it as a pro dissolved in high school, when he broke his neck on the ice. Still, he came back the following year, shifting to goalie from center.

His father was an investment adviser in Canada, but Moynes wasn’t initially drawn to the business. After skipping college, traveling and working as a tennis pro, he joined his dad’s firm, starting in the mailroom. In 2004, he was hired at RBC. Over the next decade, Moynes came to realize that he loved the work but didn’t fit in at the buttoned-down bank.

At One Sports, his money-management plan is designed to become just another routine in the highly routinized life of a professional athlete. Hockey players are told when to wake up, when to eat, when to practice, when to get on the bus. Moynes tells them when to save.

Every two weeks during the season, when players are paid, One Sports divides their money into three pots: a checking account for immediate spending on bills; a “liquidity’’ account, which is a money-market fund for bigger purchases; and an investment account. Clients pay a fee based on their assets, ranging from 0.5 to 1.5%.
