Good afternoon,

Please see the schedule for our first evaluation session. Players will perform several of the drills that were practised as part of the conditioning sessions. These drills normally include basic skating skills such as Skating Forward, Stops, Tight Turns, Skating Backwards, Forward/Backward Transitions, and Forward Crossovers along with others. Although you may see familiar faces as on-ice coaches independent evaluators will be in the stands evaluating the kids.

These evaluation sessions are done 'blind' meaning we use numbered pinnies and not names to evaluate the players on the ice. As you check-in with the registration table, players will be provided a numbered & coloured pinney for use during that session only. We will be writing down the pinney number/colour so registration might take a bit longer. At the end of the session, please be sure to return the pinny at the registration table. These sessions are meant to be just as fun as conditioning and will help us place your child on the right team for their ability. Players will need to provide their own hockey jersey and socks for all sessions.

Evaluation Sessions are mandatory as they ensure that we are able to place your child on the team that will best fit their abilities.

**Please note the evaluation schedule includes both House League players and those trying out for Rep B as the competitive tryouts have not yet been finalized. You are expected to attend any evaluation that occurs prior to the close of the competitive tryouts. For those successful at making the Rep B team you will not need to attend this evaluation session once teams have been announced.

Once the first evaluation is complete, we will be doing some preliminary sorting and will be sending out the schedule for the remaining 2 evaluations middle of the week. These evaluations are scheduled for September 30 (9am-2pm) and October 1 (10am-3pm) both at Johnny Leroux Arena. 

Please do not hesitate to reach out if you have any questions,

Thank you

Jennifer
