On behalf
of the board of directors, coaches and volunteers I would like to welcome all
participants to our AAA Burlington Eagles Elite hockey tryouts for the upcoming
2018-2019 season. We are proud to be able to represent the city of Burlington
for AAA hockey and ultimately challenge for SCTA and OHF supremacy. This week,
AAA hockey tryouts will be underway with the balance of AA/A tryouts to
commence next weekend. Our AAA coaches have been out to watch the players over
the past few months to ensure a solid evaluation of the talent on the ice.
Tryouts can be a stressful time for the young athletes as well as the parents in the stands. We ask that you trust the process and understand that the coaches are working hard at selecting their best team for the upcoming season. We have seen a significant interest in our program this season with tryout registrations up 10% vs. the previous season and we look forward to greeting our returning and new players to the Eagles Family.
The tryout process is challenging enough for the young athletes on the ice, it’s critical that their support network be there to push them with positive reinforcement and guide them on performing at their best. Please review the following article on the OMHA website:

The following are a few videos which have been going around on social media and they are a great reminder for all to put things into context:
