Update and Changes to U9 Skates this Weekend:
Please read this email in its entirety to ensure that you have all the information before arriving at the rink this weekend.
Volunteers are also needed to run the benches, set up boards and run skill sessions (U9B only). Please reach out to me via email if you are able to help run the benches and skill sessions.
U9A tryouts:
-Now that we have the confirmed number of skaters for the tryouts, we will be cancelling the time trials portion. Time trials are generally used to split up the teams, but given our smaller numbers, this will not be necessary. There will be changes to the teams between the first and second scrimmages.
-Teams will be assigned upon your arrival to the rink.
October 4th:
0800-0900-U9 goalie evaluations (for those trying out for A team only)
1145-1245-U9A scrimmage #1
2:15-3:15-U9A scrimmage #2 (team selection)
**Please note, the U9A team will be announced in the evening of October 4th. If your skater did not make the U9A team, they will need to attend the U9B scrimmages on October 5th.**
U9B scrimmages:
-Teams will be assigned upon your arrival to the rink.
-The U9B teams will be split as evenly as possible.
-Parent volunteers will be needed to set up and take down the half-ice boards. Please head out to assist before and after the scheduled skate times.
