The Peaks Youth Hockey Association (PYHA) will be holding tryouts for our Provo Predators 10U Travel Tryouts on May 13th and May 20th. Please join us. Information on the tryout process and the link to sign up for tryout can be found below.
EVALUATION PROCESS
The tryout process will consist of two Saturday sessions, May 13th 11:30am - 1:00pm and May 20th 4:45pm - 5:45pm.
Numbered pinneys will be used to identify and keep track of players during the tryouts; each player should use the same pinney during all tryout sessions.
During the on-ice tryout sessions, players will be asked to exhibit the following in a series of drills, small area games, and full ice scrimmages:
•Skating - Stride, Edges, Speed, Crossovers, Forwards & Backward Skating
•Puck Carrier - Puck Handling, Shooting, Passing, Control
•Game awareness - Playing Position, Getting Open, Play Making
•Effort - Small Battles, Fore-check, Back-check, tenacity
In addition, Goaltenders will also be evaluated based on goaltending-specific skills, including skating, technique (stance, angles, depth), athleticism, making saves and controlling rebounds, etc.
ABSENT OR INJURED PLAYER POLICY
Players are required to attend both tryout sessions. We understand that there may be scheduling conflicts, injuries, and other issues that may arise during the tryout period. We ask that parents send an email to Foster Watabe (fwatabe@provo.org) detailing any conflict that your player may have. It is strongly encouraged that players attend all of their scheduled sessions.
PARENT ATTENDANCE POLICY
If a parent plans to stay at the rink during tryouts, please stay away from the bench area, and do not interrupt your player or try to speak to the evaluators during tryouts. We strongly discourage any contact with any of the evaluators or tryout coordinators by parents before, during, and after the tryout process as it presents a clear conflict of interest. Furthermore, once the team is announced all placements are final.
TRYOUT REGISTRATION FEE
The tryout fee of $25.00 is NON-REFUNDABLE; the fee must be paid in full prior to the player attending tryouts.
PLAYER NOTIFICATION
The final 10U Travel roster will be posted on the Peaks Youth Hockey website. All players will be notified via email.
Players offered a spot on the 10U Travel team will have 48 hours to accept their spot and email their signed Player Contract to Foster Watabe at fwatabe@provo.org.
