Dear Parents & Players,
Welcome to the AMHA Peewee A team tryouts and thank you for taking the time to attend. My name is Gino DiGioacchino your head coach for the 2017-18 season.
After the final tryouts I will be selecting my manager and coaching staff accordingly. Our season will consist of a minimum of 2 practices per week, 30 regular season games (2 games per week) and 4-5 tournaments with 1 tournament being out of town. The per player cost is expected to be between $2000 & $2300 but will be finalized at the parent meeting in May.
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 within these four categories:
Skating Ability Work Ethic & Attitude
Passing, Shooting & Puck Control Team & Game Play
To ensure the selection process is fair, there will be a team of independent evaluators assisting me in assessing the players. The tryout schedule is as follows with the third tryout possibly being an exhibition game.
Saturday April 29 @ ACC 1 from 1:00pm - 2:30pm
Sunday April 30 @ ACC 1 from 11:00am - 12:30pm
Tuesday May 2 @ ACC 2 from 7:30pm - 9:00pm
All communication of my decisions after each tryout will occur via the AMHA website and NOT at the arena. Your son's passport submission ID number is your code that identifies your player. After each tryout, please visit the AMHA website to see if your son's code is on the list of players invited to the next tryout. Tryouts 1 and 2 results will be posted by 8pm of the tryout day.
The final team roster will be posted 24 hours following the final tryout. Please note the following important dates:
Jersey & Tigerware fitting: Thursday May 4, 7:15pm
Mandatory Parents Meeting: Last week of May for 1.5 hours
Mandatory Summer Training Camp: August 14-18
Thank you for taking the time and making the commitment to have your son play hockey in Aurora. As a volunteer, I enjoy coaching hockey but more importantly I am committed to ensuring your son develops a love for the game.
Best of Luck!
Coach Gino
