May 5th

On May 5th, we kick off our tryouts with skills and drills, run by ECHL defenseman Tristan De Jong.
I've known Tristan for years and he is a great resource for the game of hockey and a fantastic trainer.  Tristan operates his own hockey and mental performance training through "Transform with Trit" (click here to find out more).

In this session, we'll evaluate each player's abilities on the technical aspects of the game.  Come prepared to showcase your speed, agility, puck control, and your level of "compete".

Please attend 1 hour before the ice time to receive your 3-digit number and pinnie.  As registration numbers increase, there may be a need to convert the two-hour ice time into two separate 1-hour slots to accommodate the numbers (stay current with the team page for details as we get closer to the tryout date).

Looking forward to see the talent.

Coach Sean
