Evaluations this year will be performed by Serious Academy of Hockey.
Please note: It is pertinent that players and goalies attend their sessions to ensure proper evaluation of each player and goalie. U18 division covers 2008, 2009and 2010 born players, therefore it is important to note that rankings may be different than in previous years. Depending on the players returning to the Zone from city-wide, we anticipate we will have enough players for 4 teams. As a reminder, U18 B and C are non-contact. Once the A team is filled, the next grouping of players will
become U18 B players and the same for U18 C. As in the past, the Wild zone may possibly need to send goalies/players to other zones or received players from other zones to create combined zone teams.
All players and goalies fill out the following survey by September 8, 2024
PLEASE ONLY FILL OUT ONE SURVEY PER PLAYER
Groups will be posted once the city-wide draft has been completed and players are released back to the Wild Zone. At the U 18 level, all tryouts are based on game play and no skills evaluations will occur. The players will receive their jersey at the first tryout skate and keep it until the end of the tryout skate for A and the same for B/C. Players will be placed on balanced teams (balancing positions and birth years) for tryouts. Players trying out for A that are not drafted to the team(s) will be
required to attend the B/C tryouts where new balanced groups will be made. It is important to be at all try-out scrimmages.
Potential Coaches: You must register before try-outs begin to be considered as a coach. We need coaches at all three levels. Please fill out the application on the Wild Hockey website.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact me.
