The CGHA board strives to strike a balance between adjusting to the ever-changing non-resident quotas of surrounding centers and the consideration of current CGHA players committing elsewhere, while not compromising the level of competition or division of play for the upcoming season. As many players prioritize these factors before committing, and late adjustments can lead to mixed feelings and team strife. While this dynamic may not be favourable for some, the board retains the ability to adjust and amend non-resident quotas by majority vote, ensuring flexibility and adaptability in response to evolving circumstances and the needs of our association.
Tryout Process
- Players will receive a personal identification code via email prior to the start of the tryout. If you cannot find your number, please check in with the tryout table staff.
- Successful player selections will be identified by this number on the respective Tryout Player List on the team page.
- All players will receive a unique helmet number (sticker) for identification during tryouts. Do not remove the sticker until tryouts are completed.
- Parents/Players are not permitted to loiter around or near the tryout desks. Taking pictures of players or any CGHA tryout documents is prohibited.
- All players must attend all mandatory scheduled tryout sessions for the team they wish to try out for unless released by the coach. Players do not have to attend any higher than the tier above where they played last season. Example, players from house league can start at BB tryouts.
- Successful player selections will be posted on the Flames website. Coaches must update the site with returning players within 3 hours of the conclusion of the current tryout ice slot.
