All players will be notified of their placement immediately after the second Varsity tryout.
All players that do not earn a roster position on the Varsity team will report to Junior Varsity tryouts.
JUNIOR VARSITY
We will place 20 to 25 players on each Junior Varsity Team.
Players will continue to be evaluated at all practices to ensure that we have placed them on the appropriate team. This means that players can be moved between teams at the coaches discretion.
The JV Blue and JV White rosters are required to be finalized by October 15th.
All players will be notified of their placement immediately after the second Junior Varsity tryout.
PLAYERS THAT PARTICIPATE IN FALL SPORTS THAT CONFLICT WITH TRYOUTS AND PRACTICES
Each player MUST RECEIVE APPROVAL from their Fall Coach in order to participate in hockey tryouts.
If a player misses tryouts due to fall sports conflicts, we will tentatively place them on an appropriate leveled team when they are cleared to begin participating in practice. The player will be evaluated over a period of practices to determine the appropriate team placement.
