Dear Parents and Athletes,
My name is Craig Chiarelli and, together with my co-Coach Steve Rose, we will be coaching the 2016/17 Atom AA Tigers. 

I welcome you to the Atom AA AMHA team tryouts.     Please find the tryout details along with important information below. 

Your player will be assigned a tryout jersey, colour and number. Your jersey must be handed in immediately following the completion of each tryout.  Kindly note that full protective gear is mandatory, including neck and mouth guardsplayers without, or missing such equipment, will not be allowed on the ice.

 

The tryouts will be an anxious time for all of us while the players are evaluated.  It will be an extremely difficult task choosing 17 players (15 players, 2 goalies) for our team from a large group of hardworking athletes.  Player selection will be based on their individual abilities such as:

 

·Skating

·Puck handling

·Shooting

·Coachability

·Attitude

·Attentiveness

 

Tryout dates, times and locations are as follows:

April 24th – 4:45pm-6:15pm – ACC1 – Tryout #1

April 26th – 6:30pm-8:00pm – ACC1 – Tryout #2

April 28th – 6:15pm-7:45 pm – ACC2 – Tryout #3

 

To ensure the selection process is fair, there will be a team of evaluators assisting in assessing the players. Please do not approach the evaluators at any time. To keep everyone on the same page, the incumbent players have been asked to NOT attend the first tryout as we will have the potential to have over 40 kids on the ice based on the current passport registration for the 2006 age group.

Releases after the tryouts will be made online via your 5 digit passport code.  The first tryout releases will be available between 4pm and midnight the next day (April 25th). Assuming the exhibition is confirmed the second tryout results will be posted by midnight that same day. For the final tryout results will be posted between 4pm and midnight the next day (April 29th)                                                                                  

It should be clearly understood that if your child should make this team, it will be the coach’s final decision as to the positions they will be playing. I am looking for the best 17 players!

For the players that become members of the Atom AA team there will be a Tigerware fitting on June 2nd at 6pm at Lion Share (16610 Bayview Avenue, Unit 8 in Newmarket. This is one light south of Mulock on the west side of Bayview).

Should you have any questions or concerns please feel free to contact me away from the arena at the following email address: [email protected]

 

Thank you,

Coach Craig
