Good Afternoon Parents and Players,
I would like to thank all of you for the time and effort you
have put into these tryouts. I thank the
parents for supporting your player, giving them the opportunity to play hockey
and encouraging them to try their best every time. I thank the players for the hard work, effort
and sweat they left on the ice every day of the tryouts. All of
you are great hockey players and it doesn’t matter what team you play for this
year. If you work really hard at your skating
and hockey skills, you have a good chance of making a higher level team next
year.
This is the first year I’ve had to organize and run a tryout process. I learned a lot and grew myself over the last week and a half. I really enjoyed meeting all the parents and players. I tried to give the players as many opportunities as I could to show their skills with drills, scrimmages and exhibition games. I wanted to make the grading of players as transparent as I could and had many evaluators come out to the tryouts to help me pick this team. The evaluators are all friends and many of them are great hockey players and have experience in coaching and picking teams of many sports. I want to thank them all for their help in this tryout and giving me advice on the tough decisions I had to make along the way.
The following list of players will be the roster for the 2015-2016 West London Hawks MD Team. Congratulations to the players who made the roster and I look forward to a FUN year of Hockey. Please ask your son to Congratulate all his friends that tried out for this team and let them know they did a great job on their tryout.
2015-2016 West London Hawks Minor Atom MD Team.
