Note: Please check your spam or junk mail folders.
Saturday October 2, 2021 at Clearwater Blue Arena
There will be FOUR one-hour sessions between 8 AM and 12 PM (at Clearwater Blue Arena) organized by last name with about 30 skaters per time slot.
The 8-9 session will be for players with a last name starting from A through E.
The 9-10 session will be for players with a last name starting from F through K.
The 10-11 session will be for players with a last name starting from L through P.
The 11-12 session will be for players with a last name starting from Q through Z.
Please ensure that your child has full protective equipment (including helmet, gloves, and neck guard); this is required or else they will not be allowed on the ice. Also please bring a jersey with a number (from last season if possible) and socks.
The Evaluation Skate is a way to assess the players skills and abilities in order to balance the teams for the upcoming season. The Skate will not be a typical practice, as more time is spent evaluating the kids (i.e., not necessarily coaching) with various volunteers on-and-off the ice. For each session, we will need at least two-to-three people to help with sign-in, screening, and logistics, at least four-to-six coaches on the ice, and another four-to-six in the stands doing the evaluations. People who indicated volunteering as on-ice volunteers (coaches, trainers, bench staff) will be contacted by email to help out at the Skate.
Following the session, head coaches and assistant coaches will be contacted, teams will be created, and skaters notified shortly after by their coaches.
Please note the upcoming schedule as posted (and updated regularly) under League Calendar.
