Welcome to the 2024-2025 U11 BB Evaluations.
I wanted to take the time to introduce myself, my name is Tim Martin and I am the Head Coach for the upcoming season.
Monday marks the beginning of this U11 BB team. I am looking forward to being a part of this journey and I cannot wait to see the growth the players and coaches experience in this next season.
Please refer to the Team Website for all communications regarding the evaluation dates. Each player is guaranteed an invitation to 2 ice times (Monday and Tuesday) and the first cuts will likely be made on Tuesday night. Players invited to continue to Wednesday’s ice time will see their names on a post on the website (the same will happen on Thursday).
The final roster will likely be posted on Thursday night, and will consist of 13 skaters and 2 goalies.
Players will be evaluated based on:
- Basic hockey fundamentals (skating, passing and shooting)
- Effort and Compete level
- Attentiveness and coachability
While searching for inspiration for a vision and mission for this team I came across a few quotes that align with my goals and hopes for this team.
"With effort, talent becomes skill and, at the very same time, effort makes skill productive" Angela Duckworth
"Hard work beats talent when talent doesn't work hard" Tim Notke
"Hockey is a unique sport in the sense that you need each and every guy helping each other and pulling in the same direction to be successful." Wayne Gretzky
If anyone has any questions please let me know.
Coach Tim
