U18A Try Out Update
Welcome to U18A. 
Our Season is quickly approaching and we are finalizing our plans for this coming season.  We are very excited to get back to the Rink & feel this is going to be a fun & competitive season for our players.  

I want to take a moment to invite all players to our Tryouts.  See additional information on Tryouts, Tournaments, Coaching Staff, below....

Tryouts:

Saturday Sept. 24, 3pm - 4:30pm (ACC1)
Tuesday Sept. 27, 9pm - 10:30pm (ACC2)
Wednesday Sept. 28, 8pm - 9:30pm (ACC1)

All Tryouts will be run by Independent Evaluators along with AMHA Appointed Evaluators.  

TRYOUT PROCESS

1.      You must pre-register your child on-line (AMHA Website) for the upcoming season & purchase a tryout                   passport.

2.      Please arrive at least 30 minutes before the tryout begins.

3.      When you arrive at the lobby of ACC #2, please go to the AMHA table to sign-in and receive your child’s                 tryout jersey. JERSEY MUST BE RETURNED AT THE END OF EACH TRYOUT! 

4.      Full protective gear is mandatory, including neck and mouth guards – players without, or missing such                   equipment, will NOT be allowed on the ice.

5.      You must attend the first tryout in order to be invited back to the second and third tryout.

6.      There will be a team of independent evaluators who will be assisting me with assessing the players. The                 AMHA will also assign a team of independent evaluators.

7.      During and after the tryout, please do NOT approach the evaluators, as they have a job to do.

8.      Communication of my decisions after each tryout will occur via the website and NOT in person at the                    arena. Your child’s passport submission ID number is your code that identifies you on the website (Look at             U18 A for the team and the tryout page).

·        After the 1st tryout, results will be posted after 6:00 pm the next day.

·        After the 2nd tryout, results will be posted after 3:00 pm the next day.

·        After the 3rd tryout, results will be posted after 4:00 pm the next day.

TRYOUT EXPECTATIONS:

The following is a list of what I am looking for during the tryouts:

•        Skating, Passing, Puck control

•        Shooting, Positioning, Battling/compete level

•        Attitude, Team Play, Coachability & Hockey IQ

•        Goalie skills

•        Hockey IQ, Work ethic

The 2022 -2023 roster will include 15 skaters and 2 goalies.

All decisions about player positions are at the discretion of the coach and will most likely change during the season based on the needs of the team.


If you have a question for me, then please email me. If you have a concern, then please respect the OMHA protocol of waiting 24 hours to contact the coach. Please contact me via email after this time. If I receive an email before this time, I will respond when the 24 hour wait period has expired.   

  TEAM EXPECTATIONS:

•         There will be a financial commitment from each family. The estimated financial commitment will be             approximately $2,500 - $3,000

•         We will be looking for sponsorships and fundraising to help reduce the cost per family.
