Evaluation Information
The following information is an update regarding evaluations that are scheduled to begin as Saturday, September 12 with our team.
The Tier 2 (AA) 2008 age group will have three evaluation sessions starting Saturday September 12th with the third and final evaluation occurring on Sunday September 20th. At the conclusion of this session the team roster will be finalized.
An ID number will be assigned to each player and this will be emailed to each family directly prior to our second ice-time. The ID number is confidential and only families will know their players personal number to follow throughout the evaluations. No returning Seeded players will be released after our first session and are guaranteed to return to the second session.
IMPORTANT SELF SCREENING (The "OHF Health Screening Questionnaire" document must be reviewed prior to each on or off ice team session. Families can complete the screening verbally with their child to ensure they have no COVID symptoms) Any players showing symptoms, MUST NOT attend a team event and will be responsible to notify the Coach directly.

Saturday, September 12 (Activa PJD 4-5 pm)
The first skate has be reserved for returning Seeded players from last season that are registered and have paid their "period 1" base registration fee. Please make certain you have gone online to pay for registration since ONLY players that have paid will be permitted to skate for the evaluation process.
We are only allowed a total of 20 skaters on the ice and this includes Coaches running the session. Due to contact tracing, it will be more important than ever to know exactly who is skating at any given session and players can not just be added last minute if they have not paid the registration fee.
Saturday, September 19 (Activa PJD 5:15-6:15 pm)
The second evaluation skate will include players from other levels that our Coaches would like to invite to skate with the Tier 2 level for assessment. The Coaching staff will be following the evaluations of the Tier 1 and 3 levels to see what players may be available to compete for a spot on our roster. If our Coaching staff invites players to skate with us at any evaluation, we will sit players that automatically have earned a spot on our roster in order to help facilitate the 20 skater maximum. (players that "sit" will not be released and must be guaranteed a spot on our roster as per KMHA guidelines)
Any player that joins our evaluations will also be given a confidential ID number. Players that are moving on with our evaluations will have their ID number posted to our team web page. If an ID number is not posted for your child, we will notify the Tier 3 team(s) that the player has been released and the coaching staff will follow up with the family to share our assessment and feedback on areas that the player could continue to focus on for future opportunities.
Sunday, September 20 (Activa PJD 5:15-6:15 pm) FINAL EVALUATION
Third evaluation skate, same process as above, but it is the final evaluation and team selection to follow.
Our first practice as a team will be at Sportsworld on Thursday October 1st 6:30-7:30 pm.
