Jr. Attack U18B Tryout Players,
As we head into tryouts tonight, here are a few important notes to help everything run smoothly:
- Pinnie Assignment: When you arrive at the rink, you will be assigned a pinnie to wear during the tryout. Please do not wear a jersey with a name on the back, as names can still show through the pinnie and compromise anonymity during evaluations.
- Player Check-In: I will be in the lobby to greet players and confirm the position they are trying out for. Please check in upon arrival.
- Tryout Decisions: While I may sign a few players after the first skate, no cuts will be made until after the second tryout on Saturday. A list of players invited to continue to the Sunday session will be posted here on the team website.
- Evaluation Process: At the U18 level, most players have experience with tryouts—it's never easy for anyone involved, including coaches and parents. That said, I’ve arranged for several independent evaluators to assist in the process. I’m confident they’ll help select the best team possible.
Good luck to all players hitting the ice tonight. I’m looking forward to seeing your effort and competitiveness!
