Go to the check in table located in the lobby and they will be issued an evaluation/try-out pinnie. They will retain this numbered pinnie until the evaluations are complete. After the evaluations are completed, the pinnie must be returned before your player can proceed in the process.
Players are directed to locker rooms.
What happens on the ice?
Paperwork that identifies your player as a number only, clipboard, whistle and stopwatch are given to the people running the drills and recording the times.
1. Five stations with one drill to run at each station.
2. Each station has two coaches, one to time and one to make sure the drill is performed properly. No cutting corners, etc. as this will affect time.
3. The drills are from USA hockey. Nothing fancy, basics drills. A diagram is located at the bottom of this page.
4. The times are recorded and placed into a spreadsheet. This data, as well as rankings from off ice evaluators will be totaled and the players will be ranked. This information is shared with members of the H.A.B. (Hockey Advisory Board) and S.A.H.A. Board. The reason the data is shared is so a group can give input into making sure we meet the parity standard. Parity is a concern and we work toward the most balanced teams we can achieve. Having all competitive teams makes for a much more enjoyable season for all.
