U12 Select Tryout Invite - Update
What a weekend to see so many players out there enjoying hockey again after these past House League assessments. It’s great to see that the U12 age group has such a high number of players returning year after year which coincides with the many great coaches and parents we have to keep them engaged, having fun, and coming back for more.


Just an update about invites to the Select tryouts for this coming weekend. The plan is that I will be sending out email invites tomorrow (update - invites have been sent, please also check your junk mail) to a limited number of players based on the assessments we just had (30 players and 4 goalies). This will be sent to the email address provided when registering.

I do want to note though, that it is not easy to decide who to invite and not, especially with the sheer numbers and all the very talented and skilled players for this age group. If you were not invited to continue on with the Select tryouts, I do want to wish you all a successful season ahead, continue to push hard, learn, and develop to be the best hockey player that you want to be, and keep it fun! 

See ya all at the rink!

Thanks - Coach Luke

The Toyota Hockey Challenge consists of round robin competition amongst top Kitchener, Waterloo & Cambridge teams, with the top two teams then competing in a one-game show down that will determine the team to represent the Tri-Cities in a once-in-a-lifetime cultural exchange to Japan. The team that wins the Toyota Hockey Challenge will travel to Hokkaido, Japan during March Break for a cultural exchange with the Tomakomai Allstars, all expenses paid by TMMC. Thanks Toyota!
