Welcome to the Oakridge Aeros Seeded Minor Atom tryouts for the 2012-2013 season.
Our team will consist of thirteen skaters and two goaltenders. Players will be evaluated on their hockey skills, skating, game performance, teamwork, and motivation.
Approximately 40 players are being evaluated. All players will have a fair and equal opportunity to be part of this team. Non-partisan volunteers will assist me with player evaluation. Please let me know ASAP what position your child plays, as tryouts will be for specific positions.
On the release dates, you will be advised via our team website if your child is to continue with the Seeded Tryouts or to be released to the MD tryouts (in the late summer).
In advance of team selection, please be aware of the commitment required to play on a seeded team:
Cost: In addition to the regular hockey registration, additional costs include a competitive surcharge (paid to Oakridge and the Minor Alliance of Ontario) and approximately $600 in other team costs (tournaments, additional ice, exhibition games, team clothing)
Travel: We will be playing approximately 30 games with teams from
Sarnia to
Burlington. As well, we will be participating in out of town tournaments to be determined at a later date.
Holiday Games: League games are scheduled during Christmas, March break, and Easter. Playoffs begin in January and go through to April, including MARCH BREAK. Please do not book vacations during this time period.
Fundraising: All team families are required to participate in fundraising activities throughout the season (to supplement the team budget).
If you are at all concerned about the commitment required or have any questions regarding the tryout progression, please feel free to connect with me.
Thank you for considering Oakridge Aeros competitive hockey for your child.
Regards,
Chris Sirovyak
