Greetings Hockey Families. Welcome to the 2025 BMHA U11 B evaluation
process.
In this welcome letter you will find important
information regarding your players tryout.
Evaluations begin as your player enters the arena. Tryouts can be a hard time for both players
and parents. This letter is designed to
help players and parents through the process.
Some key items your player will be evaluated on will be skill, work
ethic, attitude, hockey sense and ability to take instruction. Players should show a positive attitude and
body language during the process. Below
I have listed some key points regarding the tryout process.
U11 B tryouts will consist of one tryout and
one scrimmage.
Tryout: May 10 @ 2:30 At East
Bayfield. Players will be split into two
groups. Parents will receive an email
regarding which group time to attend.
Tryouts will consist of multiple drills run by a third party
organization.
Scrimmage: May 11 @ 2:30 At
Allandale. Players will be split into
two teams and will play a game with Officials.
Please
Monitor the BMHA website for the most up to date time/dates.
●
A total of 17 players will be
selected for the team.
●
Player positions are not
guaranteed. Players will be expected to play the position I see as the best fit for
the team.
●
Pinnies are to be picked up and
returned before and after each skate.
●
Parents please monitor the BMHA
website for your players tryout number regarding advancement or releases, as well as your email.
What to
expect this Season
Rep hockey is very demanding for both players
and parents. Hockey season is extremely
busy playing Rep hockey. Expect
practices and games multiple times per week.
We will be looking into development sessions in addition to our regular
schedule. This can add to our busy
hockey schedule and make logistics difficult.
Players are expected to attend all practices, games and development sessions.
●
We will be booking three
tournaments spread throughout the year.
One of these tournaments will be an AWAY tournament requiring
accommodations.
●
Team Fundraising will constitute a
portion of our team budget.
●
Playoff Games and practices often
take place during the March break. Please take note of this and plan
accordingly.
●
A MANDATORY parent meeting will be
held shortly after the team has been selected.
I will confirm and send out a date ASAP.
I will be reaching out regarding Volunteer
Positions for this team shortly after the team is selected. Mandatory Positions to be filled are a Trainer, a team
Manager as well as an Assistant
coach.
Best of luck during tryouts.
Coach Ken Biron
