Welcome to the U18 BB/B Brantford Ice Cats 2023-24 season!
Players will be issued a specific tryout number at the registration table at the first session. Please retain that number (keep in a safe space or take a picture of it) as that is the number that will be associated with the player for the entire tryout process. Please keep an eye on the team website for updates and player updates over the course of the tryouts.
The coaching staff’s main priority/focus areas for this year are: player and team development, icing a competitive hardworking team and having FUN along the way! We have put together a very comprehensive season plan (including player assessments, dryland training, skills training, team events, etc.) that we will be offering to successful team members.
Top two main things coaches are looking for at these tryouts:
1. HARDWORK
Examples - work hard in all 3 zones, forechecking and backchecking, not giving up on pucks.
2. ABILITY TO BE A GOOD TEAMMATE
Examples – moving the puck, proper shift lengths, playing your position, positivity and coachability.
Looking forward to a great hockey season and see you on the ice for tryouts!!
