Novice Competitive Tryouts 2019/2020
Welcome to Novice Competitive Tryouts for the 2019/2020 Season My name is Bryan Flagel and I will be the Head Coach for the season. This will be my fifth season Coaching with the Devilettes, Novice house league through Competitive Atom. Please read and review all the information below.
By following the Hockey Canada guidelines for skill to system coaching, my goal is to create a competitive and fun environment. I anticipate that the girls will come to the rink every practice and game with their best effort. The coaching staff (to be decided, and announced after tryouts) will focus on developing the players' skills while teaching them the key aspects of the game. We will be having a mandatory parent meeting within a month of the on ice tryouts commencing.
Novice Half Ice:
As some of you may have heard we are Transitioning to half ice this year. There are still a number of questions we are trying to clarify with OWHA on how this season will be structured for a Novice Competitive team. At this point until these questions are answered we will be moving forward with tryouts. I will try to update Parents with Any future news as I receive it. Information about OWHA half ice can be found Below.

Tryout Info:
Selections for the team are to be made with the assistance of current coaches within the organization at other age levels, as well as independent evaluators who have hockey coaching experience but have no association with the team or any of their players. These individuals will help to make the final decision through an unbiased evaluation system.
Please be at the rink 30 minutes prior to ice time. You must sign your daughter in at the table, receive a room and jersey number, and take an information sheet. Only females will be allowed in the dressing rooms.
Players are encouraged to work hard and have fun. It is very important they listen to the on ice instructor for all tryouts. Players are encouraged to come out to all 3 practices and final cuts will be made after May 18 practice. With the introduction of half ice I will be looking to carry a roster of 16 skaters and 2 goalies.
