You can confirm ice times for each division at the following links:

U15AA Tryouts

• All players should plan to attend each ice time scheduled for their age group. Evaluations from all sessions will be considered when building teams.
• If a player is unable to attend a session, please email registrar@sgha.ca prior to the scheduled ice time.
• Jerseys will be distributed at the first session for a division

ARRIVAL:?

• Please arrive 45 minutes before the first session.
• Players will be assigned a dressing room and jersey colour for each session.
• Players should be fully dressed and ready to go on the ice 15 minutes prior to each scheduled start time to allow coaches to speak with them in the dressing room.

MEET THE COACH:?

• There will be a brief 20-minute parent meeting before each division’s first ice time to meet the coach and ask any questions.
• Meeting location will be confirmed at the registration desk at check-in.

TRYOUT PROCESS:?

We encourage players to focus on what they can control: effort, attitude, and coachability.

What to Bring:

• Full equipment (including jersey — [specify if a particular color is needed])
• Water bottle 
• Positive attitude and strong work ethic!

Upon arrival for each session:

• Check in at the registration table to receive dressing room assignment and jersey colour for the session.

On the ice:

• Players will participate in a combination of drills and scrimmages.
• Evaluations will be conducted by coaches and independent evaluators.
• Evaluators will be observing not just your performance, but also how you support your teammates and respond to challenges.

Results and Next Steps:

• Within 24 hours of the second and each following session tryout results will be posted on our website (listing player codes of those moving forward) in that division.

Reminders:

• Be early and ready to go at least 15 minutes before ice time.
• Give your best effort every time you step on the ice.
• Stay positive — every player develops at a different pace.

 We’re excited to see everyone at the rink and look forward to a great start to the tryout process!
