Tryout Process

Check-In

Check-in occurs in the lobby area of rink 3. Tryouts will be on rink 1

Please arrive no more than 45 minutes early to check-in, pick up your numbered pinny, and proceed to assigned locker room to get prepared. The locker room assignments will be provided during check-in. Locker room supervisors will be present. There will be a designated locker room for female athletes.

Criteria for Evaluation – all levels

On-Ice assistants will lead players through warm up activities, drills, with a majority of the time spent on scrimmage play. Players will be evaluated on skating ability, shooting, passing, puck handling, competitiveness, team play and hockey awareness.

Goalies will be given time during the tryout time to show their skills for evaluation. Due to having more goalies than teams, there may be multiple goalies to any given team. Goalies will be evaluated by goalie coaches.  

Excuse due to injury, illness or quarantine:

In the event a player is injured and cannot participate in the tryout process, the player must provide a written Doctor's excuse or other documentation. The nature of the injury and length of recovery time or restrictions must be reported.

Evaluation Team

Evaluators will be located in Rink 1 viewing areas.  The Director of Hockey will oversee the on-ice and team selection process.  The on-ice assistants are not evaluators for that particular level. The panel of Evaluators are selected by the Coaching Committee and Director of Hockey.
