Important Reminders for Tryouts
Parents/Athletes,
We would just like to take this opportunity to brief you on/remind you of some important details as you arrive for your tryouts.
1) When you arrive, please locate the Sarnia Jr. Lady Sting sign-in table where you will be met by some volunteers from the Association as well as the coaches. We will confirm your registration and receive from you any necessary documentation (Permission to Skate Forms). You will then receive a pinnie from us to use that must be returned to the Den Mom(s) in the dressing room following every tryout. This process can sometimes be pretty busy, so please allow yourself enough time to check-in and also be ready to go on the ice for the proper time.
2) If you are required to bring a Permission to Skate form, please have that with you.
3) In an effort to be as transparent as possible and also relieve some of the potential nervousness of the athletes, Tryout 1 will consist of the following and could be subject to change...
- Goalie/Player Warmups and Puck Skills
- Battle/Puck Protection
- Puck Races
- Defence Transition Skating
- Forward 2v2's Small Area Games
- Scrimmage 3v3's, 4v4's and 5v5's
4) Tryout #1 - Thursday, April. 18th, 2024 from 8:00pm-9:30pm @ Clearwater Arena (Blue Rink)
We understand that this time of year can be stressful for both athletes and their families. We aim to alleviate some of this stress by maintaining transparency throughout the process. When you step onto the ice, we encourage you to give your all, compete hard and inspire others around you.
Good luck to all the athletes!!!
Coach Kyle and Coach Kev
