Tryout expectations:
Players will be evaluated, by me, my coaching staff, as well as non-parent evaluators to ensure a fair and unbiased measurement of all players.
We will be looking for:
-Developmentally where they need to be
-Hockey I.Q/skills
-Compete both with, and without, the puck
-Effort/positivity/coach-able
Evaluation will consist of a mixture of drills, intersquad game, and exhibition games.
Breakdown of evaluation:
Drills: skating, puck control, shooting/passing, goalie skills/effort
Intersquad & Exhibition Games: positioning, hockey IQ, desire/compete level, work ethic, positivity, team play, goalie skills/effort
Evaluation Goals:
-To place players on the most appropriate team based on skill level, developmental needs, and drive
-To form teams that are competitive, at each level, and provide the best opportunity for all players to further develop their skills
