U14-1 White, A (Barrie Minor Hockey)

Dear Players and Parents,

Welcome to hockey tryouts for the 2025-2026 season! My name is Mike Thompson and I’m looking forward to coaching the four time York Simcoe Champions (2012) U14A-White Barrie Colts. This page is to inform you about the tryout process and the commitment requirement for playing on this team.

Players need to show up at tryouts properly prepared mentally and physically. In addition to the fundamentals of skating, shooting and hockey sense, I will be looking for players who demonstrate the characteristics of dedication, hard work, focus, coachability, teamwork, sportsmanship, and a positive attitude.  Emphasis will be placed on speed, skill and competitiveness. 

Please read and follow the BMHA 2025-2026 Tryout Process and Procedures

You must attend all of the tryouts in the schedule below in order to be considered eligible to make the team. 


Tryout Schedule

Tuesday May 6th - 7:30PM - 10:20PM - Skills Evaluation - East Bayfield (Green)
Wednesday  May 7th - 7:00PM - 9:50PM - Skills Evaluation - Allandale Rec Centre (Red)
Thursday May 8th - 6:15PM - Scrimmage - Innisfil Recreation Centre (Gold)
Friday May 9th - 6:30PM - Scrimmage -  Allandale Recreation Centre (Blue)

All players will have the opportunity to demonstrate their skills during the first tryout session before any redirection occurs. Evaluations will be conducted by myself, as well as a selection of 3rd party evaluators. Letters of continuation, selection or redirection will be communicated by email as per BMHA direction to coaches.  

Commitment

Being a part of this team requires a significant  commitment by both the players and parents.  Players can be expected to be at the rink and team events 4-5 times per week, including weekday early morning 6AM practices, and 3-4 tournaments. During the season practices, games, and team events are not considered optional. The season and playoffs will run from September through to early April depending on our success in the playoffs, which will include games and practices during March Break of 2026.

I wish all players good luck through this tryout process, and look forward to watching everyone give their best efforts!

If you have any questions please do not hesitate to call, Go Colts!
