Fall Travel Tryouts
CSDHL, NIHL AND CUHL (TRAVEL) TRYOUT INFORMATION
• There are up to three tryout sessions for each level. Each player must attend at least two sessions to be eligible for travel team consideration. Tryout groups are set and requests for changing groups will not be considered. Coaches may ask a player to attend an additional tryout session outside of his/her pre-assigned group or may change which tryout sessions players should attend during the tryout process. All players will have a reversible navy/grey jersey. Returners bring your reversible jersey. New participants will be provided with one.
• NIHL, CSDHL and CUHL (Travel) tryouts are directed by the Hockey Director and coordinated by the Hockey Committee and coaches at each level.
• Any 15U, 16U or 18U (Midget) player may be advised during any of the tryouts that he/she should not attend the remaining NIHL/CSDHL (Travel) tryout sessions. A player may also be asked not to attend a particular session so coaches can have more time to evaluate other players. This will allow all skaters to get a fair review by the coaches.
• Any 10U (Squirt), 12U (Peewee), or 14U (Bantam) player may be advised during any of the tryouts that he/she should not attend the remaining NIHL/CSDHL (Travel) tryout sessions. These players are encouraged to attend JSHL (Jr. Sabre House League) evaluations. A player may also be asked not to attend a particular session so coaches can have more time to evaluate other players. This will allow all skaters to get a fair review from the coaches.
• Any Jr. Sabres 8U player may be advised during any of the tryouts that he/she should not attend the remaining CUHL (Travel) tryout sessions. These players are encouraged to attend JSHL (Jr. Sabre House League) evaluations.

• Players selected for a NIHL, CSDHL and CUHL (Travel) team will be notified via website posting and by his/her coach within 48 hours after the final tryout session for the level. Not all players trying out for a NIHL, CSDHL or CUHL (Travel) team will be selected to play travel hockey.
• The first team parent meeting that your coach schedules at the start of the season is mandatory for all families, with at least one parent attending. Please help your coaches get off to a good start by attending this meeting.
