Thank you to everyone who came out for tryouts this week. To the players—your effort, energy, and passion for the game were evident every time you stepped on the ice, and it was truly a pleasure to watch you compete. To the parents and families—thank you for your continued support, your time, and your commitment to helping these young athletes chase their goals. We recognize the sacrifices that go into making tryouts possible, and we’re grateful for the role you play in this process. It means a great deal to all of us.
With 65 players trying out, it was a privilege to watch you all compete. Tryouts are never easy. They demand a lot—physically, mentally, and emotionally, they come with pressure, nerves, and tough moments, but every one of you showed real character just by stepping on the ice and giving it your all. It takes courage to compete, to be evaluated, and to give your best in such a high-pressure environment. Whether you made the team or not, I want you to know that your efforts did not go unnoticed.
If you weren't selected, please don’t see this as the end—far from it. I believe in your potential. Keep working, keep learning, and keep playing the game you love. Every shift, every practice, every challenge is a chance to grow.
To those who were selected —congratulations. Let’s get to work!
Thank you all again for making this week such a great experience.
