Minor Atom MD Tryouts, News, Minor Atom Black, 2016-2017, BB (Waterloo Minor Hockey)

The following information applies to both the Minor Atom Black and Minor Atom White MD teams.

All Players and Parents, 

We would like to welcome you to the 2016 – 17 Waterloo Wolves Minor Atom MD tryouts. Throughout the tryout process we will be evaluating each player’s skills such as skating, shooting, passing, positioning, hockey sense and team play. Evaluations will be completed by the coaching staffs to ensure fairness and equality to all players.

Please arrive to all tryouts at least 45 minutes in advance so that we can have all the rosters printed and jerseys handed out in time. This allows the coaches and players adequate time to prepare before ice time.
