Evaluations
Player evaluations for Rep Teams and pre-season ice for House Teams take place over two weeks. Evaluation Schedules for Phase 1 and 2 can be found here. Teamsnap will be updated with your Group and exact schedule by August 26, 2024.
Phase 1 Evaluations - 1st week of Evaluations
Phase 1 Evaluations comprises of skills and scrimmages for players trying out for our U13, U15 or U18 "A" team. Initiation players will also be on the ice that first week. Rosters for the "A" team will be reduced and the Players still in contention for spots on that team will play in a series of exhibition games in the following week.
Phase 2 Evaluations - 2nd week of Evaluations
Final rosters for the "A" team should be determined by the end of the 2nd week depending on when each team is able to play exhibition games.
House "C" Teams
Ice times for all "C" teams will start during Phase 2, although those ice times won't necessarily be in the teams' regular practice slots. During Phase 2, there will also be an evaluation of "C" Players in those divisions where there will be more than one "C" team, to determine their placement on C1, C2 or C3 teams. The C1 team will be tiered while the remaining house teams could be tiered or balanced. Registration numbers will play into this decision.
Evaluation FAQs
SFHA understands that evaluations can be an exciting yet stressful part of the season. We have compiled a list of frequently asked questions which will hopefully help you out this September. If there is a question that isn't answered in the FAQs then please have a look at our Player Evaluation Process located here which is a detailed excerpt of sections 16 thru 21 from our Policy Manual. We look forward to seeing everyone at the rink and for a successful hockey season for all the players and families!
