Transcona Minor Hockey Association

Sept 13 - Please note that the U15 tryout groups and times had to be redone. Your group and/or time may have changed so please read the new email carefully (Email subject: **REVISED** U15 Evaluation).  My apologies for the bother.  Jacquie, TMHA Registrar

Sept 9 - Evaluation emails have been sent to all U9 (those trying out for A1), U11, U13 and U15 in the boys' program. (Girls playing in the Stars program will get their emails separately.) Stay tuned for U18!

PLEASE READ THE EMAIL CAREFULLY! There is a lot of important information about the evaluation process and changes to the upcoming season. TMHA is run by volunteers and while we always want to hear from you, this is a VERY busy time for us all and we're all doing our best to keep up with the demand. The answers to your questions/concerns are most likely to be found in the email.

The 2023/24 evaluation schedule can be found on the Tryouts page.

It is important to note the following:

• Evaluation groups are selected randomly and different groups will be on the ice at the same time.
• There are 3 to 4 evaluators in the stands assessing the players; the coaches on the ice are not part of the evaluation team. Players are being assessed on skating ability, shooting, puck handling, passing, and game play.
• Evaluations are not practice. Drills are specifically designed to assess the players' skill and ability; they are appropriately paced so that all players are assessed.
• Evaluators are using their mobile devices to assign numerical scores based on pinnie colours and numbers; player names are not visible to evaluators. While they are all members of the Transcona hockey community, no evaluator has a child at that age level - no exception.

**Please refrain from approaching evaluators so that they may remain focused on observing and assessing all players.**

If you did not receive your evaluation time, please check your junk or spam folders. Still can't find it it?

Remember: primary addresses in the Hockey Canada Registry can only be changed by the Registrar so even if you think you updated your contact info, these important emails might still be going to an old address. 

Please click on the link above to apply by Sept 3rdt,2023.
