The first day of tryouts has finally arrived! This is when dreams can come true and hopes can be destroyed. All those years of youth hockey boil down to a few days under the watchful eye of the high school coach.
Coaches have to decide if they should go with the senior who was a marginal performer or take a risk on a freshman who shows promise.
Regardless of the coaches selections, the end result is still exciting for those of us who love high school hockey.

Good luck to all the athletes!
I am sure there are some nervous lads in classrooms today.
Good luck to the young athletes. It's always fun to start a new season.
Just curious, how does your hometown, or school do their tryouts? At mine they have 2 sheets of ice, newcomers/JV on one rink, and Varsity on the other, trading players between the two rinks and having them play mostly competitive drills such as down low in the corners, 3-3, and so on.
HShockey2180, sound like you have the numbers for tryouts that kid will be cut. Does your program have it that NO Senior will play J/V? It’s Varsity or you’re done?
