Upcoming U11 BB Evaluations
Hello parents and players, welcome back to West London hockey! I hope you all had a fun off-season and were able to enjoy some quality time with friends and family.
This page will be used for communication regarding the upcoming player evaluations that follow the prep skates. Please see the U11 prep skate page for the prep skate dates and times. The players have been split into groups based on last name.
For the evaluations, player lists with jersey numbers will be posted outside the dressing rooms. Each player must wear the jersey they have been assigned. The jerseys will be collected after each evaluation. Please hang the jerseys back on the hangers.
***There are currently 35 non goalie players registered for the evaluations. 25 of these 35 players have signed up as only wanting to play forward. If a player is open to playing multiple positions, please email me at [email protected] to advise me of this***
Evaluations will be split into 6 separate evaluations. Please see the calendar on this page for the evaluation dates, times and locations. Two of the evaluations consist of 2-hour ice times to accommodate the large number of players trying out. Player releases will not begin until after Evaluation #3.
Initial plan for the evaluations (subject to change):
Evaluation #1 (September 11): two separate groups, see below for assigned times.
Evaluation #2 (September 13): all the players on the ice.
Evaluation #3 (September 14): intra squad scrimmage split into two ice times. Some players will be assigned to play in only one of the two hours.
Evaluation #4 (September 15) and Evaluation #5 (September 16): These are home and away exhibition games against the St. Thomas Stars. Some players will be playing in both of these games.
Evaluation #6 (September 18): This will be an intra-squad game between the remaining players.
The Final roster will be announced in the evening of September 19. Thank you very much for your interest in playing for the U11 BB Hawks. The amount of players attending evaluations shows the love of hockey and drive to succeed that this special group of players possess. Though I am excited for the upcoming season, I know that extremely difficult decisions are ahead when it comes to selecting 17 players from such a strong group. I ask that the players have fun, try their hardest and respect the on and off ice helpers, evaluators and most importantly fellow players. I am looking forward to seeing you all soon.
