Bring it!!
First, i would like to start with saying that tryout 3 was a much better tryout as you can see the fitness and compete levels of the kids starting to grow. Let's keep that momentum growing and bring it on !!

For parents and players, this is a BUSY week for these kids and i need to address our tryouts. Its important for all the kids to know that this is still a tryout and we have not made decisions yet.  That said some of the kids have asked for some time back on Thursday for the first football game of their high school season. I will be clear with the players and parents up from that football teams have many players with less than half of them on the field at any given time. Our hockey team can only dress 15 skaters and two goalies. This means my expectation is that the players will be putting hockey games first over football games. This may upset kids if there is a conflict in schedule but this will be my expectations.

Thursday is an exhibition game. We dont have a lot of registered players which means we will need many to play in both games this week. The kids that have asked already i can try to accomodate them as i understand its the first game of season, high school sports are also very important, and this is an exhibition game for us. However, that said, it i still a tryout. So i will ask that parents and players determine which is important to them because once the team is selected they will not be given an option from this coaching staff to miss hockey games for other other sports. Practices can be another conversation and i will be addressing this all with the kids and parents once the team is selected.

Hope you all understand.
