Welcome to the 2023-24 Sting U13 Try-Outs

Good morning!
 
Welcome to the 2023-2024 Ottawa Sting U13 try-outs. I am Alia Tayyeb, the U13 Liaison for this season. I will be your main point of contact throughout try-outs, and available throughout the season as required. Please do not hesitate to reach out at any time. 
 
This email is to give you an overview and expectations for the approaching tryout sessions.
 
Start Date: Your tryout series will start on August 25, 2023 and the AA team is expected to be formed by September 3, 2023. At that point, released players will be invited to continue the tryout process to the next level with Sting or Golden Knights, depending on where you live. At each step, you will receive clear communication to guide you and your player through the process.
 
Tryout Jerseys: For the entirety of the tryout series, your player will be identified by their tryout jersey number. Please ensure that you have a white and black tryout jersey with corresponding numbers, and that I have the correct number for your player. If your player does not have a set of Sting tryout jerseys, please attend the Sting Open House on Wednesday, August 16th at the Canterbury Community Centre between 6:30 and 8:00 pm. Should you not be able to pick up a tryout jersey that evening, please arrange for someone else to pick it up, or advise me by email and I will have a set available for your player at the first tryout session. It is your players responsibility to bring both jerseys to all tryout sessions.
 
Schedule: The full tryout schedule for U13 can be found on the Ottawa Sting website http://ottawasting.com/master_sched_league.php?from_month_year=2023-08-01&to_month_year=2023-09-01&org_teams%5B%5D=183771&org_teams%5B%5D=183773
 
You will receive more specific communication ahead of the start of tryouts.  Note, not all players will be required to attend at all sessions listed in the calendar for your cohort.  Your player will be assigned specific days and times to attend. 
 
Goalie Evaluation Sessions: There is also a l goalie skills assessment that only goalies are required to attend, with more details to follow. For U12 to U16, the goalie evaluations will be on Sunday, August 27th, in slots to be assigned, starting from 8:15 am to 12:15 am. 
 
Coach Letter: If you have yet to acquaint yourself with the coaches, you can find their coach letters on the Ottawa Sting website under the tab marked “2023-24 Coaches”.
 
While tryouts can be a stressful time, the process is meant to place every player at the proper level for their development. It is important that your player be well rested and hydrated in order for them to perform at their best. This is the start of their season and will set the tone for the season ahead.
 
We hope that your player enjoys their tryout experience and has fun while out on the ice! Know that we have an exceptional coaching staff at all levels, who will ensure all kids have a great season!
 
Please check your email daily for future communications and tryout assignments. Each email will also be posted under this age cohort on the Sting website, U13 News section. 
 
Any questions, please let me know!
