Welcome to the 2025-2026 Try-out Season for the Sarnia Jr. Lady Sting
Try-out Fee:
- $175; if you are successful in making a SJLS team, $75 will be deducted from the 2025-2026 season player registration fees.
- Try-out fees are non-refundable
Payment:
- We will only be accepting eTransfers and credit card payments again this year; NO cash will be accepted. Payment must be made in full in order to step on the ice for try-outs. If a player has any outstanding fees (registration or team fees) from the 2024/25 season with SJLS, they will not be permitted to skate until the matter is resolved as agreed.
- eTransfers can be sent to treasurer@sarniagirlshockey.com including player name/division in the memo.
Permission to Skate:
- If your player trying out is coming from another OWHA association or OWHA independent team, you must have a Permission to Skate (Try-out) form from your last registered OWHA association or OWHA independent team in order to be eligible. This is the responsibility of the parents/guardians to obtain. Without this release, the player will not be permitted to skate until received, no exceptions.
- If you are a returning Sarnia Jr. Lady Sting player from the 2024/25 season, first-time hockey player or coming from the boys organization, you do not need a Permission to Skate form to attend SJLS try-outs
Try-out Schedule:
- Please note that the try-out schedule has the potential to adjust and encourage players/families to check the website for updates frequently ahead and during try-outs; we'll publish the website links for each division via the website and our social media after Sunday, April 13th.
- As releases are made during try-outs, updates will be posted to the website and directions on next steps.
- Try-out dates, times & arena will be available when registration opens at 9 am on Thursday, March 27th.
Dressing Rooms & Benches:
- All existing rules for dressing rooms and benches will be in effect for try-outs meaning that only approved Den Moms, Trainers and Coach/Ice help will be permitted in these spaces
