We encourage players to come 45 minutes before their scheduled ice time to give our jersey volunteers time to distribute jerseys, but again, no players will be permitted into the dressing room until 30 mins prior.

September 12, 2023 - U13 AAA 2023 Tryouts Information and Schedule

At the bottom of this post you will find the U13 AAA Tryout schedule for the 2023-2024 Season as well as a link to the groupings for the skills sessions. Only players that are listed and that have signed up for U13 AAA tryouts are to attend these sessions. 

For players that are signed up for U13 AA/ A/ B tryouts, information and the schedule for this set of tryouts will be posted later this week. Please note these tryouts do not start until Sunday September 24, 2023

A few things to note/ remember for your players:

  • Players will be provided a jersey for each session that they will get when they check in and will pass in before leaving each session, please remind your player to turn the jersey in.
  • Please ensure your Player is at the rink and checked in no later than 30 minutes prior to ice time start. This will allow them enough time to check in, receive a tryout jersey, get dressed and be ready to hit the ice 10 minutes prior to their ice time start so we can get the groups organized.
  • Please ensure your player has a water bottle, hydration is very important, and they will definitely require it.
  • Players are to wear plain white or dark socks, Whalers / AtoMc games socks ONLY no spring / summer team socks.

It’s a fun time of the year but also a stressful time. To best support the players trying out over the next few weeks we ask all parents to keep the following in mind:

1.       Be supportive of the players who are trying out

2.       Support the evaluators by letting them evaluate with no interruptions and respect the rules of where spectators are allowed

3.       Have the player on time for each session

4.       Enjoy the day and be there to cheer all players on!

 

Please note we already have volunteers in place for U13 AAA tryouts for Dressing rooms and on the bench to open the doors, but we still require a few volunteers to wash jerseys after each session so please let the U13 Coordinator know if you are able to help.

 Also a few reminder for all spectators:

  • For all Skill Sessions and Intersquad games, Spectators will only be allowed on the downstairs level at RBC for all Rinks (Pad A, B, and C)
  • For Exhibition games in Rink C ONLY, spectators will be allowed to watch from upstairs. Spectators must sit in the designated area and must stay away from all evaluators. All other rinks, A & B, spectators will only be allowed to watch from the downstairs level, no spectators will be allowed upstairs.

 Tryout Schedule Important Notes:

The first ice time will be a skills session to evaluate the players. Players will be grouped by position. (please check grouping link below to verify your player is registered for U13 AAA tryouts)

U13 AAA Groupings for Sessions 1

 

 All lists for the Intersquad and Exhibition Games will be posted on this page, with the most recent post at the top and with the date it was posted. Once posted it will also be shared to our social media pages. PLEASE NOTE, no lists will be emailed out, only changes to schedule will be sent out via email
