Welcome U14 families to the 24/25 BB hockey season! It is
great to see the kids back on the ice for the development and prep skates. Hopefully
everyone had a great start to the school year and you are ready to hang out at
the rink over the next 8 months!
This is a talented cohort. I am eager to see what each of
your children can bring to the ice! Now that prep skates are nearing completion,
we will shift focus to tryouts. The schedule is as follows:
Friday, September 13th @ 8pm: Bostwick CC - Drills & Intersquad
Scrimmage
Saturday, September 14th @ 6pm: Bostwick CC - Drills
& Intersquad Scrimmage
Monday, September 16th @ 7pm: Bostwick CC - Exhibition Game vs North London Nationals
Wednesday, September 18th @ 730pm: Bostwick CC - Exhibition Game vs Sarnia Sting
Each ice time is 1.5h and each player is guaranteed the first 3 hours
of tryouts. Therefore, releases will occur after the 14th, 16th
and 18th skates. The final roster will be posted after 6pm on
Thursday, September 19th. A team building function will take place
on Saturday, September 21st with the first team skate on Sunday,
September 22nd.
The evaluators and I will be focused on a player’s work
ethic, competitiveness and collaboration with teammates. Please make sure kids
are doing everything as hard as they can for the duration of tryouts and ultimately
during the season!
Later this week, I will post a list of those registered to
attend tryouts. If your child is signed up and not on the list, please reach
out so we can rectify the situation.
If your child has a cell phone, please advise them to
leave it at home or with an adult. I do not want any player cell phones in the
dressing rooms at all now or during the season.
Thanks for your interest in participating on this year’s U14
BB team. It is a privilege to be a part of rep hockey at West. I hope the kids
take it seriously and give their all.
Good luck Hawks!
