(Please note new Time 5/2/15.)

NEW SELECTION PROCESS

 

Releases after the first & second tryouts will be made by the head coach via the AMHA Website.  Each player will be assigned a unique number at sign-in. Players are to refer to the AMHA website following the tryout. If your number is listed you have been invited to return to the next tryout.

 

After the final tryout, the results of those that have been selected for the team will be listed the next day on May 6/15. The head coach will be available for additional feedback for released players, if requested, no sooner than 48 hours after the final tryout date.

 

The tryouts will be an anxious time for all of us while the players are evaluated.  It will be an extremely difficult task choosing 18 players (16 players, 2 goalies).

 

Please note that you may not see a Player on the ice for tryouts due to injuries.  I have seen most of the 2000 player’s over the years and I will be considering past play as part of my decision making process.

 

A parent meeting for those selected to the team will be scheduled at a later date.

 

When it comes to hockey, my philosophy is to create an environment where kids want to develop their hockey skills, continue to learn, love the game of hockey and have fun. The environment will be supported by positive feedback.  Structured practices will focus on skill development, hockey instruction, teambuilding and FUN! 

The team will be skating 3-5 times per week during the season. 

 

I estimate the team budget to be $1500 - $2,000 for each family.  These costs are over and above the AMHA registration costs that you have already paid.  Further obligations from families include team fundraising initiatives and corporate sponsorships.

 

My plan is to participate in 3-4 tournaments over the season.  This could include 1 or 2 overnight tournaments. (depending upon parent input).

 

Lastly, the AMHA will be holding the following two mandatory fitting dates for all Tiger Teams:

Game Jersey Fittings - Saturday May 9/15, ACC2 , 12:00 pm - 4:00 PM ( All “A” players )

Tigerware Fittings & Special Event DaySaturday June 20th 11:30 am - 4:00 pm at Machell Park.

 

If you have any questions regarding any of the information, please feel free to contact me.
