TRYOUT 1 RECAP





I want to thank all of the players for their INCREDIBLE effort in the tryout last night.  

Tryout 2 will be a more formal intrasquad game with officials.  Lineups will be on the dressing room doors when
players arrive. 

Tryout 3 will be an exhibition game against West.  Lineup will be posted here after our tryout Sept 18.  Would encourage all players to attend and support even if not playing.  

The decision has been made to add a fourth tryout due to the large number of players and desire to give all players a full opportunity to show what they can do.  Fourth tryout will be Sept 22, 8:00pm-8:50pm @ Kinsmen Arena.  A list will be posted Sept 20th after the exhibition game with who will move on to the final tryout.    

A couple of jerseys appear to have gone home with players.  Please ensure they are brought to the game tomorrow. 

I appreciate this process can be stressful for a lot of players and for that I am truly sorry.  I would encourage all players to try and focus on what is in their control, effort and attitude.  Mistakes or bad shifts happen and it speaks volumes to a players character if they can learn from it and move on quickly.  Try to have some fun, it is a game after all!

Coach Cory.
