Coach's Invite
U14 AA Prospective Players and Parents

Welcome to the U14 AA Hockey Team tryouts! I want to emphasize a few key qualities that are essential for success on our team: compete level, effort, and being a coachable player.

Compete Level: Hockey is a sport that demands intensity and a relentless drive to succeed. During tryouts, I will be looking for players who demonstrate a high compete level, those who never give up on a play, who battle hard in every situation, and who show a true passion for the game. Your ability to compete will be a crucial factor in our team's success.

Effort: Effort is the foundation of improvement and achievement. I expect every player to give their best effort in every drill, scrimmage, and game situation. This means working hard on and off the ice, maintaining focus, and pushing yourself to be better every day. Effort is not just about physical exertion; it's about mental toughness and the willingness to go the extra mile.

Coachability: Being coachable is about having a positive attitude, being open to feedback, and showing a willingness to learn and grow. I value players who listen attentively, apply what they learn, and strive to improve their skills and understanding of the game. A coachable player is a team player, someone who contributes to a positive team environment and supports their teammates.

As we move forward with tryouts, remember that these qualities are just as important as your technical skills. I am looking for players who embody the spirit of our team and who are committed to working hard and supporting each other.

I look forward to seeing you on the ice and wish you all the best in the tryouts.

Sincerely,

 

Jeff List
U14 AA Coach
