TRYOUT PROCEDURES
Tyke tryout formats are different from those used from Novice to Minor Midget. The main reason is that all those trying out are “new” entrants to competitive hockey.
Colour Team Assignments
After registration, players will be assigned randomly to a ‘coloured’ team - Red, White, Navy or Gold and notified by e-mail which “Team” to report to. Email Notification will be sent out by 11:00 pm Monday April 2. Players will then follow their “Team” assignment for tryout sessions as indicated on the Tryout Calendar. These sessions will be a combination of drills and scrimmages. All of our Tyke coaches will be in attendance for these sessions. They will be closely monitoring each player for their present skill level, work ethic, desire/determination, coachability, etc.
Group Session
There are also two “Group” sessions. Players will be divided into either “Group A” or “Group B”. Players will be advised via e-mail as to which of the “Group” sessions to attend. These will be primarily skating and hockey drills sessions. All coaches will be in attendance at all sessions.
Final Skate
Following the Group Sessions each player will be assigned to one of the three Final Skates i.e. 1, 2, or 3. A player’s assignment to one of these sessions, whilst an indicator, may not be their final rostered team assignment, as each session will have extra players. Players will be advised via e-mail which skate to attend.
At the conclusion of the skates, Players will be informed of their placement. Players will be informed of what team they will be in fall however no players will be officially assigned to a team until after the 6 week developmental season in the fall.
