What We Look For
A TRUE POLAR KING
Tryouts can be a nerve-wracking experience, but the right preparation can make all the difference. We’ve put together some simple yet effective tips to help your young athlete stand out on the ice and make a lasting impression.
- Look engaged, work hard on the ice, don’t cheat during drills and try your hardest with every repetition.
- Listen when drills are being explained, and if you don’t understand a drill ask the coach for guidance.
- Showcase the skills that you are good at. If you are a great skater – skate, if you have a great shot – shoot.
- There is nothing better than seeing players smile and having fun. Remember to enjoy your tryouts!
