Tryout Procedures
All players trying out for GMHA must be registered and a member in good standing with GMHA or on a NRP Passport to attend tryouts.
Tryout Passports $75.00
No Rep or LL jerseys are to be worn by players during tryouts
All players intending to play Representative hockey U8 (Novice) to U13 (Peewee) inclusive (A or AE) with GMHA must:
Tryout at the A level first. Three “Tryouts” are scheduled for each A team. Players can be released after the 1st tryout.
Requests for releases will not be granted to those not wishing to play for a specific coach or to those that only wish to get a passport to another centre or play AE. Coaches will provide players being signed with an OMHA Commitment Letter, to be signed by the player/parent confirming their intent to play for the selected team for the coming season.
If a player is offered a position on the A team, but declines the position then the player has the option of playing houseleague only (and cannot be AP’d to the AE/MD team)
Provide a A release notice at the tryout indicating release from the A team.
U14 Minor Bantam – U16 – U18 Midget inclusive
If the player only wants to participate in MD hockey (no body contact) they can bypass the A tryout and only attend the MD tryout. These players will not be given a passport to play A hockey in another centre, or have the opportunity to AP for the A team.
Players on all rep teams must play within their own age group. In exceptional circumstances, an underage player may be signed to the next level A team. This will be decided if he or she is among the top 2 players in a designated position of either Goalie, Defense or Forward as determined by a GMHA Committee. Application must be submitted in writing by the Coach of the older age team to the Coaching Director immediately following the first tryout. No team can have more than one underage player on its roster.
AE/MD players are not permitted to play up on a higher age group. All decisions are final and not appealable. NRP’s must play within their own age group.
Players requesting to tryout as a Non-Resident Player (NRP) at the closest A centre to their residence, must contact VP of Rep Hockey to obtain their passport and provide a release letter from the A Coach.
