Evaluations are officially finished, and we are moving into team selection (the "draft").
How it works: Teams are built top-down, starting at 'AA' and moving sequentially through 'A', 'B', 'C', and 'D'.
Coaches & schedules: As each tier's draft wraps up, head coaches are given their roster and ice schedule, and will contact families immediately.
Please be patient! You don't need to reach out to check on status—your assigned coach will contact you directly via phone or email as soon as your child's team is finalized.
[x] Full Hockey Equipment: Required for all skates, including a mandatory neck guard.
[x] Clean Helmet: Remove player names from helmets and cover or remove any team stickers.
[x] Socks: Players must wear plain socks or Comets socks.
[x] Check-In Desk: Check in at the arena lobby to receive your assigned evaluation jersey.
[x] Jersey Return: Return evaluation jerseys to the check-in desk immediately following each skate.
[x] Volunteers Needed: We welcome volunteers! Sign up at the registration table or contact the division coordinator if you can assist with gate duties.
In U13, evaluations shift toward competitive play and game-like scenarios under pressure.
On-Ice Assessments: Evaluators assess skating mechanics, passing accuracy, puck control, shooting, and overall work ethic.
Scrimmages & Bubble Games: Evaluators focus on 4-on-4 game play, decision-making under pressure, positioning, and overall hockey IQ.
Independent Evaluators: Ratings are completed by off-ice, independent evaluators and overseen by the division coordinator.
For registration questions, evaluation adjustments, or general division inquiries, reach out directly to the U13 Coordinator at u13coordinator@cometshockey.ca.
