What to know about rep tryouts
For many minor hockey executives, evaluators, coaches, parents, and players, rep evaluations can be a tension-filled, labourious, and frustrating experience– the goal of this document is to allow it to be a more fulfilling, consistent, and positive experience for all; promoting an environment where our players can grow as athletes and young people.
The process outlined in the pages to follow provides a common reference for all stakeholders. The information collected during tryouts enables our Association to efficiently form competitive teams, and it gives our coaches a starting point to determine where young players are skill-wise, thus beginning the process of utilizing the various hockey programs available to our Association to educate players, parents, and coaches on the importance of developing sound hockey skills.
It is important to note, the conceptual framework of Semiahmoo Ravens Hockey’s Rep Player Evaluation and Selection Process – Policies & Procedures Guide has been directly adapted for our needs from the Hockey Canada Minor Hockey Development Guide – Player Evaluation and Selection. More information about Hockey Canada player evaluation, team selection, and other minor hockey development programs can be found at http://www.hockeycanada.ca/en-ca/Hockey-Programs/MHA.
