sportsmanship, and strives for fair playing time for all players.

The individuals who teach this curriculum, in all cases, have

their opponents and the officials.

Tryouts: 2022 – 2023
           eastviewhockey.net/tryouts

◼   Goal is to ensure each player is placed at the
    most appropriate level for their abilities
◼   Process based on objectivity and fairness
◼   Closed to parents
    ◼   Once the tryouts begin, parents will not be
        allowed in the arena
    ◼   Board members will also not be allowed in the
        arena during the time that their child is trying out.
    ◼   The scrimmages for all levels will be against
        outside associations and will be closed to parents
        as well (Day 4 of Tryouts).
◼   After each tryout, a posting will go up to tell you
    which session your player should attend next.

Tryouts: 2022 – 2023
            eastviewhockey.net/tryouts

◼   Goalies will not have separate tryout sessions. They
    will be observed and have some separate tryout drills
    assessed by goalie evaluators.
◼   Tryouts will consist of hockey related drills to
    demonstrate skills, and game-like situations. The
    evaluators will be looking at the whole picture –
    skating skills, game-like situations, 1:1, 2:2, etc.
◼   The final decisions are made collectively by the
    evaluators chosen by the PDC.
     ◼   As in past years, we will have independent
         evaluators and members of our Player
         Development Committee evaluating players and
         placing players on teams.

Tryouts: 2022 – 2023
          eastviewhockey.net/tryouts

◼   IMPORTANT
      ◼ Check the Website for dates and
        group session postings
      ◼ All players will receive a numbered
        jersey for tryouts that must be worn
        for each tryout session. This jersey
        must be returned at the end of the
        last session.
      ◼ Following tryouts, final teams will be
        posted on our website.
      ◼ If a player cannot be at tryouts,
        please contact Laura Slominski
        immediately
        (lslominski@eastviewhockey.net)

Fair Play Policy
           eastviewhockey.net/handbook

Key Components
◼   Squirts/10U and Peewees/12U players’ positions should be
    rotated with equal playing time
◼   Goalies should be given equal playing time over the course of
    the regular season. Coach discretion on how to manage (e.g.
    whole game rotations/partial game rotations)
◼   Bantams and 14/15U do not have a requirement to rotate player
    positions and may have specialty lines but all players should get
    opportunities to play on special team positions throughout the
    regular season
◼   For any team playing in playoffs, the Coach may utilize special
    power play lines, penalty kill lines, and may manipulate playing
    time to put their team in the best position to win, but, the Coach
    should utilize all players in the game. On teams with more than
    one Goalie, the Coach may manipulate the Goalie rotation to
    give the team the best chance to win.
◼   Teams can restrict playing time due to violation of team rules
    or attendance concerns.
