REP TRYOUT POLICY 2017 General Information
Tryouts will be standardized throughout each level. All players seeking to play Rep for the 2017/2018 season must register for the tryouts and pay the applicable fee. Upon registration, each player will be assigned a unique identifying code (invoice number). The Association will post on our website online after each tryout which players are invited to return to that team’s next tryout. Individual players can determine their status by checking to see if their code appears on the list posted online without others being able to tell whether that player is on the list or not. For siblings, please register each player separately by logging out after registering the first player and login in again for the second player. The deadline to register for our rep tryouts is April 16th. Head Coaches are encouraged to evaluate eligible players for next season from the time of their appointment until the completion of tryouts. Evaluation would include watching eligible players play/practice and reviewing feedback from current Head and Assistant Coaches. The tryouts are the end of the assessment process. Head Coaches may offer spots to players prior to the tryouts. By the commencement of the first tryout, Head Coaches will publicize how many spots are available on the team. At the tryouts, Head Coaches will have the support of an appointed impartial Player Selection Committee. The final choice will rest with the Head Coach, but input will be provided by the Player Selection Committee. Player re-assignments will be conducted in a consistent, fair, and professional manner following Hockey Canada guidelines
Imports The Board of Directors has approved up to 5 imports for Midget AA and Bantam AA and up to 2 imports for Peewee AA for the 2017//2018 season. The Coaches of these teams are at liberty to offer spots to import players currently playing for the Oakville Hornets if they do not exceed their applicable import limit. For any new import players, these Coaches must get the import player approved by the VP Rep. Import Players will be allowed on other level Rep teams on an exceptional basis only, as determined by the Executive Committee. Anyone who is interested in being an import for the 2017-18 season should contact the appropriate Head Coach listed on our Rep page
Timing At the first tryouts for the AA level teams on April 18th, current Oakville Hornet players in good standing can participate. Subsequent AA tryouts will be by invitation only. Eligible imports with a permission to skate or release must also attend the first AA level tryouts for these teams that allow imports. On April 19th, a special goalie only tryout will be held for all goalies seeking to play rep at any level. Any goalies seeking to play rep must attend the goalie tryout for their age group (division). Eligible import goalies with a permission to skate or release or currently registered as an Oakville Hornet must also attend this tryout.
Minimum Tryout Requirement Players must try out for one level above the team they are currently playing on if staying in the same division.
