Tryouts for the 2026 season will be for the following birth years: 2013-2016

Tryout registration links will go live in early September. If they are not yet posted, please check back around that time.

If there is a conflict and your player cannot attend all sessions, they are still welcome to attend the ones they can make. The more we see a player, the better, so we prefer for each player to attend all sessions. We also plan to host ‘call back’ sessions, which will be by invitation only.

That depends on the talent level present. Whether it’s for our summer teams or midget and junior team tryouts, our motto remains the same: ‘If a player is good enough, we will find a spot for them in our program.’ Every year, we select hundreds of players from our tryouts. In fact, 90% of the players on any of our AAA teams at these ages come from our tryouts.

All players must preregister online. Walk-ons will not be taken. We also need to cap the number of players that try out for our team, especially at the goalie position. There are only so many players and goalies we can accommodate at our tryouts. Please do not wait till the last minute.

The majority will be scrimmaging. After a short warm-up, we will scrimmage (full ice). Depending on the age, we may play some cross-ice.

Commitment varies by age, but typically each team will attend 3 to 5 tournaments during the spring and summer. We do our best to spread out the schedule so families are not playing or traveling on back-to-back weekends or more than twice in a given month.

Depending on the talent level at tryouts, we may field multiple teams at the same birth year. In other cases, we may carry a larger pool of 20–25 players at one birth year. From that pool, some players may be invited to all tournaments, while others may be invited to a select number. For each event, we will never roster more than 9 forwards, 6 defensemen, and 2 goalies. Rosters are built based on the tournament schedule and level of competition, which allows us to mix and match players appropriately.

At the younger ages, or in local tournaments that do not have a deep national field, we may bring 25–30 players and divide them into two balanced teams entered in the same event.

We also offer skill sessions for those who make our AAA teams starting in March. The skill sessions are not required and are offered through a separate registration.

As noted in the prior answer, it depends on the talent level and interest at tryouts. If both are strong enough, we may field two teams at a given birth year: a National Elite team and an Elite team. The National Elite team will be the stronger of the two.

The two teams may overlap at certain events such as the Beantown Bash, Cowgirl Shootout, Queens of Vegas, and Park City Showdown, but they will not attend all of the same tournaments.

In some cases, rather than fielding two separate teams, we may carry a larger pool of players on a single team. This allows us to mix and match rosters appropriately and ensure that every player who has earned a spot has the opportunity to participate with us.
