EVALUATION INFORMATION

The U18 level is a crucial final step in a player's minor hockey career. Our evaluation process is designed to identify players with the potential to excel at the next level, whether that be college hockey, junior hockey, or beyond.

Key Focus for U18:

  • Elite Skill and Hockey Sense: At U18, we seek players who demonstrate exceptional hockey IQ, skill execution, and decision-making abilities.
  • Physical Maturity and Competitive Drive: Physical strength and conditioning are essential at this level, along with a relentless competitive drive and a strong work ethic.
  • Leadership and Character: We look for players who can demonstrate leadership qualities, both on and off the ice, and who embody the values of teamwork and sportsmanship.
  • Preparation for the Next Level: Our evaluation process is designed to identify players who have the potential to succeed at the college or junior hockey level.

By participating in U18 evaluations, your daughter will have the opportunity to showcase her talents and compete for a spot on a team that will prepare her for the next stage of her hockey career.

Important Information:

  • Registration: All players must be fully registered, with registration fees paid in full before participating in evaluations.
  • Equipment: Players must wear full hockey equipment, including a neck guard, for all skates. Helmets should have names removed and team stickers covered or removed. Players must wear plain or Comets socks.
  • Jerseys: Jerseys will be provided for evaluations, and this will be their evaluation number for BOTH skill skates. 
  • Evaluation Dates: Stay tuned to the Comets Zone Hockey website (www.cometshockey.ca) for specific evaluation dates and times. Regrouping will occur throughout the process so please check the website for regular updates. 
  • Evaluators: Players’ ratings will take place during the evaluation sessions by off-ice, independent evaluators. 
  • Volunteer Opportunities: We welcome volunteers to assist with the evaluation process. Please sign up at the registration table or contact the division coordinator if interested in gate duties or other volunteer roles.

Note: You MUST report to our Comet desk before the second session to register.  This is very important to ensure you are being evaluated correctly. If your daughter is unable to attend an evaluation session, please email the coordinator. 

How Parents Can Help

Parents play a crucial role in supporting their child's hockey journey. Here are some tips:

  • Encourage and Support: Offer positive reinforcement and celebrate your child's efforts, regardless of the outcome.
  • Set Realistic Expectations: Help your child understand that evaluations are a learning experience, and not every player will make the top team.
  • Focus on Development: Emphasize the importance of skill development and having fun over winning. 
  • ​​​​​​​​​​Be a Good Sportsperson: Demonstrate good sportsmanship by cheering for all players, not just your own child.​​​​​​​
