TRYOUTS 2010 / 11

Competitive Tryouts 2010/11

Welcome parents and players to the 2010/2011 competitive hockey season.  Due to the 2011 Canada Games, the CMHF season will start the week of October 3rd, 2010.  This, along with limited ice availability in September, has forced us to start tryouts early.

Again this year, we have made some improvements to the tryout process for Atom, Peewee, and Bantam.  Phase 1 will consist of the Hockey Canada National Skills Standards & Testing Program to score the players for placement in Phase 2.  This testing will also be done midway through the season and again at the end of the season to help us assess player development. 

Below is a link to view the test:

National Skills Standards & Testing Program

Phases 2 and 3 will be inter-squad scrimmages with non-parent independent evaluators.  After Phase 3, players will be divided into 4 teams and players will be released to Recreation at this time.  Teams will then have a practice, giving the coaches a chance to get to know the players before the home and away games with Bedford.  Final team selections will be made after these games.

The tryout process can be a stressful time for players and parents.  Please do your part in making this as positive an experience as possible by preparing for all possible outcomes.  Building unrealistic expectations will have a negative effect and spoil what could be a positive season for the players.  Also, keep in mind that if your player makes a competitive team there may be early morning practices and players are expected to attend all practices.

ALL INQUIURIES during tryouts must be directed to tasacomp@hotmail.com
