U13 AAA and U15 AA Tryouts
Attn: U13 and U15 Families
There has been a change initiated by Hockey Nova Scotia (as per this news release) regarding the Competitive Tryouts for U13 AAA and U15 AA teams this season.
- If your player is not interested in trying out for U13 AAA or U15 AA level, he or she will proceed as originally announced. These players should select the $875 fee level, for Registration + Competitive Tryouts, valid for U13 AA, U13 A, & U13 B or U15 A & U15 B. This process is unchanged, and will start at the beginning of October 2022.
- If your player is interested in trying out specifically for the U13 AAA or U15 AA levels, he or she should select the $1,000 fee level, for Registration + Competitive Tryouts + U13 AAA or U15 AA Competitive Tryouts. The tryouts for these two specific teams will start on September 15th.
- It is an additional 5hrs of ice time. The $125 cost is build into the $1000 fee. There are no refunds of the U13 AAA or U15 AA tryout fee.
- Players who try out for the U13 AAA and U15 AA teams and who are released, will continue with the SMHA Tryouts in October.
- The players placed on the U13 AAA and U15 AA teams do not participate competitive tryout process in early October... Therefore, the standard competitive tryout fee of $125 - which was built into registration - will be credited toward the individual player's U13 AAA or U15 AA Team Fees for 2022-2023.
