U13, AA / A (Waterloo Minor Hockey)

After-Tryout #2 Announcement A big thank you to every player and family who joined us for our first game of tryouts. The compete level, energy, and excitement at the rink set a strong tone for what we’re building. We want to acknowledge all players who stepped on the ice—you gave us everything, and we’re proud of the effort and commitment shown across the board. Whether you're moving forward or not, remember: this moment doesn’t define your hockey journey. For many, it’s just the beginning—and we’re always here to support your development however we can.

I just want to say a big thank you to all who attended our first day of tryouts. I really appreciate the compete level and energy every player brought to the ice today. I want to thank each individual that came out, it really made for some tough decisions tonight. Unfortunately I need to make some roster adjustments in order to move on in the tryout process, working towards picking the 17 individuals that will make up the team for next season. Like I told everyone after the skate, one decision does not define you as a player or a person, but is only a step in the learning process.
