Ensure everything on this checklist is ready before stepping onto the ice:
[x] Full Hockey Equipment: Required for all skates, including a mandatory neck guard.
[x] Clean Helmet: Remove player names from helmets and cover or remove any team stickers.
[x] Socks: Players must wear plain socks or Comets socks.
[x] Check-In Desk: Check in at the arena lobby to receive your assigned evaluation jersey.
[x] Jersey Return: Return evaluation jerseys to the check-in desk immediately following each skate.
[x] Dressing Room Policy: To maintain a safe environment, all players must wear at least athletic shorts (or long underwear) and a shirt while in the dressing room. A minimum of two screened adults must be present at all times.
[x] Volunteers Needed: We welcome volunteers! Sign up at the registration table or contact the division coordinator if you can assist with gate duties.
Our evaluations assess each player’s hockey abilities to determine the best team placement. Independent evaluators provide ratings based on:
On-Ice Assessments: Drills focusing on skating, passing, puck control, shooting, and work ethic.
Scrimmages: 4-on-4 games and bubble games to demonstrate teamwork, decision-making, and hockey IQ
