Tryouts 2025-2026
The Kitchener U16AAA Junior Rangers are looking forward to a rewarding season ahead which starts the week of April 21st at Tryouts. 

The schedule for tryouts is posted here on our webpage. We will play intersquad games Monday and Tuesday followed by a series of exhibition games at home and on the road.

THE PROGRAM

We expect a high level of commitment from the players. We aim to help them be more confident, skilled, physically stronger and tactically sound. We will be looking for good teammates who enjoy being students of the game and be the best player they can be. Creating the right culture is very important to our program. We believer the team is a family, and a family first mentality is what we promote including respect for each other and the game we play.

Our staff is tough but fair and if the players are willing to put in the work and buy in to the program, they will be successful.

Things to remember for tryouts:

·       Please arrive no later than 45 minutes prior to ice sessions

·       Register in the lobby to receive a pinny and tryout number – this number will be yours throughout camp. Pinnies are to be hung up in the room after each skate. Players moving forward in camp will see their numbers posted online KMHA U16AAA WEBSITE.

·       Exhibition game line ups will be posted online as well

·       Players are reminded to bring proper off-ice attire (running shoes/shorts)

·       Players will warm up as a group

·       Players are to double check equipment making sure they are prepared and ready to play

·       Players are expected to report all injuries prior and post ice sessions to athletic staff

 Looking forward to a competitive training camp!
