Latest Info on Tryout Start Dates

This email was received on 1/21/2018 regarding the timing of tryouts for the 2018-19 season.

All:

USA Hockey's Youth Council at this month's USA Hockey Mid-Winter Meeting is allowing a one year exemption to tryouts for  Youth (not girls) Tiers I-III, 14 U and older, to start 24 (not 48) hours after the end of Nationals. Tryouts can now start on Wednesday, April 11, 2018 instead of ThursdayApril 12, 2018. Girls remain the same Wednesday, April 11, 2018.

Youth and Girls tryouts in classifications (12 U and below) that do not lead to a National Tournament can start on Tuesday, March 27, 2018. That date has not changed. 

I apologize, once again, for any inconvenience caused.
