-Cuts will be made after the first skate
Second Tryout
Sunday, May 11th from 8pm-9pm at the Joe Thorton Community Centre.

Final roster will be made after this skate.
(Unfortunately this is also Mothers Day, not ideal)
What Evaluators are looking for:
-Overall skating, puck handling and shooting skills
-Work ethic, attitude and listening skills
-Positioning with and without the puck
-Awareness of Teammates and Opponents
-Decision making under pressure
-Understanding systems (basic breakout, forecheck and defensive zone coverage)
