The crease is calling.

Good luck to all our goalies hitting the ice for their evaluations this week.

Rep tryouts get underway Monday! A reminder to all families that tryout sessions are mandatory and players are expected to attend every session. Players must be registered to try out.

Players are evaluated by a team of qualified evaluators. Assessment considers a range of skills and attributes, including skating, puck skills, hockey sense, compete level, teamwork and overall game play.

Families will be notified of next steps in the try out process after these sessions.

Good luck to all players — work hard, have fun and give it your best!
