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.
  • Session 1: Goaltender Skills - Thursday, October 6th, 7:00pm-8:00pm @ Sackville Sports Stadium (1-2 Evaluators)

18 Competitive (All Players)

  • Session 1: Skills (All U18 Comp Players) - Saturday, October 8th, 11:00am-2:00pm @ Sackville Arena 

U18 AA/A (Contact)

  • Session 2: Skills (All U18 Comp Players) - Saturday, October 8th, 8:00pm-11:00pm @ Sackville Arena
  • Session 3: Scrimmage (U18 AA/A Only) - Sunday, October 9th, 8:00pm-11:00pm @ Sackville Arena 
  • Session 4: Scrimmage (U18 AA/A Only) - Monday, October 10th, 8:00pm-11:00pm @ Sackville Sports Stadium

U18 B (Non-Contact)

  • Session 2: None
  • Session 3: Scrimmage (U18 B Only) - Tuesday, October 11th, 8:00pm-9:30pm @ Sackville Sports Stadium
  • Session 4: Scrimmage (U18 B Only) - Wednesday, October 12th, 8:30pm-10:00pm @ East Coast Varsity
Please contact VP of Competitive vpcompetitive@flyershockey.ca and or  U18 Div. Coordinator, Mike Kennedy U18comp@flyershockey.ca
 
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 if you have any questions 

 

Thank you everyone for your patience,

Sackville Sports Stadium Closed Tuesday, Sept 27th

All Sessions scheduled for Tuesday, September 27th @ Sackville Sports Stadium are now cancelled as the Stadium remains closed due to the storm and power outages for the day.   SMHA is working hard to look at rescheduling; however, if we are unable to do so we will ensure everyone gets credited for missed sessions.

As of this time, all sessions for Tuesday, September 27th @ Sackville Arena are planning to go ahead as scheduled.  Any changes will be communicated both on the website and on social media.

U13AAA /U15AA Tryout and Pre-Season Camp Update

U13AAA Tryouts will continue with two exhibition games this week:

  • Tuesday, September 27 - 6:30- 8:00 pm @ East Hants Penguins at East Hants Sportsplex
  • Wednesday, September 28- 7:00-8:30 pm @ Dartmouth Whalers at RBC Rink C

All players are asked to arrive at the assigned arena for these games 45 minutes ahead of time. The final roster will be confirmed after these exhibition games are complete.  The final rostered team will also have exhibition games Thursday and Friday night (information for these will be provided after the team is finalized).

 

U15AA will have one ice session (scrimmage) on Tuesday, September 27th from 8:30-9:30 pm @ Sackville Arena.  Because the final two icetimes were cancelled due to the storm/power and no exhibition games were scheduled, we were able to secure this hour of ice for a final tryout session.  Team will be finalized after this scrimmage.

 

 

In an effort to get the U15AA team finalized, the U13 pre-season camp group 3 has been moved from this Tuesday night to Friday, September 30 from 5:00-6:00 pm.  We are working to secure ice to reschedule the pre-season camps that were cancelled this weekend, please continue to follow our website and social media for updates.  Thanks to everyone for their patience during this time.
