2023-2024 U11A Evaluations
Welcome to the Woolwich Wildcats U11A Tryouts!
Hello, my name is Rich Shantz and I will be the head coach of the U11A team for the 2023-2024 season. I'm looking forward to a year of growth and development for all players individually, however am focused on promoting a strong team work ethic.
"Talent wins games, but teamwork wins championships" - Michael Jordan
In order to participate in tryouts, each player must sign up and pay the registration fee through the Hockey Canada Registration system prior to the first skate.
Upon arrival at the scheduled ice times, please visit the registration table to check in with WMH executive/team management where you will be given a jersey for the ice time. Jerseys are to be returned to the registration table at the end of each session.
We ask that all players are fully dressed and ready to go 5 minutes prior to the ice time.
Players will be assessed by several non-bias evaluators based on skill, sportsmanship and knowledge of the game. Every player will have the opportunity to participate in skills and drills, small area games and full ice scrimmage, prior to any releases being made. If any player is unable to participate in the scheduled ice times they may forfeit their right to be part of the team.
Any cuts made from the A team will be released to the BB tryouts, for which a schedule will be provided on the WMH website.
All updates to the schedule or important information for families will be posted on the U11A website, including releases made.
A password will be provided to players upon return of their jersey prior to the first releases made.
