Alliance House League Evaluations
Welcome to the 25/26 Alliance House League Evaluations Information Page.
Please note, this page is for our Alliance House League Program (formerly called the Boys House League), our Co-Ed Recreational League.
You can register for our 25/26 Regular Season here, if you haven't already.
Evaluation sessions are used to get our kids back on the ice for inter-squad games. They are watched by our coaches, who will then draft teams based on the evaluations. They are
also watched by our Select Coaches, who will extend invitations for Select Tryouts. Once the House League teams are drafted, you will be contacted by your coach to welcome you to your team. Please note, the House League Draft will take up to 14 days to complete.
