CSDHL, NIHL AND CUHL (TRAVEL) TRYOUT INFORMATION
• NIHL, CSDHL and CUHL (Travel) tryouts are directed by the Hockey Director and coordinated by the Hockey Committee and coaches at each level.
• There are up to three tryout sessions for each level. Each player must attend at least two sessions to be eligible for travel team consideration. Tryout groups are set and requests for changing groups will not be considered. All players will have a reversible navy/grey jersey. Returners bring your reversible jersey. New participants will be provided with one.
• Players may change groups from day to day throughout the tryout process. Using Peewee 12U as an example: All players will be assigned to a group for day 1. After day 1, players in consideration for the 2012 and 2013 CSDHL teams will move to their respective groups, while the rest of the players are reassigned for days 2 and 3.
• Any 14U, 15O, 16U or 18U (Midget) player may be advised during any of the tryouts that he/she should not attend the remaining NIHL/CSDHL (Travel) tryout sessions. A player may also be asked not to attend a particular session so coaches can have more time to evaluate other players. This will allow all skaters to get a fair review by the coaches.
• Any 8U, 10U, or 12U player may be advised during any of the tryouts that he/she should not attend the remaining Travel tryout sessions. These players are encouraged to attend JSHL (Jr. Sabre House League) evaluations. A player may also be asked not to attend a particular session so coaches can have more time to evaluate other players. This will allow all skaters to get a fair review by the coaches.
• Players selected for a NIHL, CSDHL and CUHL (Travel) team will be notified via Crossbar and by his/her coach within 48 hours after the final tryout session for the level. Not all players trying out for a NIHL, CSDHL or CUHL (Travel) team will be selected to play travel hockey.
• The first team parent meeting that your coach schedules at the start of the season is mandatory for all families, with at least one parent attending. Please help your coaches get off to a good start by attending this meeting.
NWHL EVALUATION INFORMATION
• Any 10U or 12U player who does NOT make a travel team, will be moved to the NWHL evaluations at no added fee.
• All players will use a reversible navy/grey Sabre practice jersey. Returning players please bring your reversible jersey. New participants will be provided with one.
• Players should attend at least 1 of the 2 evaluation dates to get a proper assessment for their team placement.
