- Players should not wear travel or team jerseys/socks during tryouts.
- Permission to Tryout:
- Players who played for a different OWHA association last season must provide a Permission to Skate form signed by their previous OWHA association before their first tryout.
- Players transferring from an OMHA association do not require this form.
- LL players trying out at another center will need a Permission to Tryout form signed by LLGH after April 14.
- Attendance Requirement: Players must attend all tryout sessions for their division’s first team to be eligible for selection (unless excused by the VP of Travel).
- Tryouts include multiple sessions over several days to allow for thorough evaluation.
- Players will wear numbered bibs for anonymity; however, evaluators and coaches may recognize some players. Despite efforts to maintain anonymity, this is acknowledged as a limitation in the selection process.
- Player evaluations belong to the evaluators and will not be shared outside of the head coach and LLGH Board.
- The goal is to form teams with 15 skaters and 2 goalies, unless otherwise approved by the LLGH Board.
