Tryout Update from VP Comp
First, I would like to say THANK YOU to everyone who has pitched in to help in any way with tryouts up to this point. Tryouts are a huge undertaking that takes a tremendous amount of work and support to manage. As some of our competitive team tryouts are now nearing the finish line, we still have more to do. We need your help to do it.
Some quick guidelines:
- Evaluators cannot evaluate levels where their kids are trying out. We are looking to have 8 evaluators per session and them to be available to evaluate for all 3 sessions, as much as possible for consistency. Ultimately we have to work with what we have available. A hockey background is required.
- Bench Coaches - Parents are okay here but we need to make every effort not to have a parent on the same bench as their kids. 1-2 coaches per bench.
UPDATE: U11-U15 Evaluators & Bench Coaches are confirmed. Still could use some for U18 and Recreation.
U18 - Evaluators, On-ice lead & Station coaches, Bench Coaches(Scrimmages) are needed.

Last but not least. Rec evaluations for balancing teams will begin
--rec evaluations which will be starting next week on Monday and Tuesday. The remaining sessions will be the next weekend October 15th and 16th.
We will need people on ice to help run drills and as well in the stands for evaluating players. Even if your player is still involved in the competitive tryout process by no means will helping in the rec division have any effect on their tryouts.
There will be a meeting this Friday at 7pm in the mezzanine for those that are interested in helping out. Please reachout to Todd House, VP of Recreation vprecreation@flyershockey.ca
Thank you everyone for your patience,
Aaron Hiscock
