Conditioning and Tryout Information

Hello U10 families!

This email is to provide you with more information on the conditioning skates as well as the start of tryouts. If you did not receive my earlier email, my name is Jahmiah and I am your liasion. My role is to ensure you have all of the information you need throughout the tryout process and address any questions/concerns that may arise. 

Conditioning skates. You should have already received an email outlining a series of conditioning sessions between September 6th and September 10th. Each player is offered fours hours of ice time. These skates are optional and are designed to give all players and goalies an opportunity to get on the ice in a player friendly/low stress environment. Attendance will not be tracked and coaches/evaluators will not be present at any of the sessions. If your player has a conflict and cannot make a session, but would like to attend another, please contact me and we will work to accommodate.

Try-outs. The actual try-outs will start on Monday, September 11th and the full calendar for U10A and U10B is on the Sting website. The Pathways try-out model will be followed – a skills session, a small area games session and an intrasquad game for each player. For the U10A tryouts, each player will be scheduled for a minimum of three hours. The initial tryout schedule will be sent out via email by September 8th.

For try-outs, we will be using jersey numbers in all communications. I will be at the first conditioning skate to hand out jerseys to players who do not yet have one. If your player/goalie does not intend to participate in the conditioning skates and you need to coordinate getting a jersey, please email me. 

Should you have any other questions regarding the conditioning skates or the try-out process, please feel free to reach out!

Good luck and Go Sting!
