Possible Closed Tryouts for Chebucto - Many Volunteers Needed for Tryout Period

Dear Chebucto Membership,

Here we are, nearing the end of August.  The Chebucto Board and association volunteers are busy getting ready for summer and pre-season development sessions, and quickly on the heels of that...competitive tryouts and U9 Evaluations

All tryouts can begin as early as September 28 (with the exception of U13 AAA on September 15). As you all know, it takes a village to run a hockey association's tryout processes, a VERY large village, and in recent years the volunteer engagement at Chebucto has been very low with the bulk of volunteer support falling to a very small group of individuals. 

We must conduct tryouts and all other player activities according to Hockey Canada policy and regulations.  As such, we need a minimum of 8 and up to 15-17 volunteers dedicated for EVERY tryout session. 

If the volunteer level remains low, we will be forced to have closed tryouts for Chebucto Minor Hockey (no spectators allowed), and only volunteers will be permitted in the rink. 

 

VOLUNTEER SIGN-UP FORM

 

Please review the roles available, and submit the volunteer sign up form to indicate where you can help out.  If every player had one parent/guardian volunteer just a couple of 1-2 hour shifts, we'd have every ice time more than covered. 

 We can't do this without you - the parents and guardians of the Chebucto player membership.  Please help us deliver another successful tryout period for our players, and keep the rinks open so everyone can enjoy watching their player(s) give their best.

Registration Details

 

Competitive Tryouts (U11, U13,U15, U18)

All players who wish to tryout for a competitive team are required to pay a non-refundable $150 tryout fee.  This fee is built into the competitive registration fee.

 

Competitive Fee (U11, U13,U15, U18)

All players who make a competitive team are required to pay a competitive fee.  This is separate from the tryout fee.  Competitive fees cover the additional ice time that competitive teams receive, over the rec teams.  Last year, this was collected through the Grayjay payment portal  This year it will be collected directly by your team managers as part of the overall team budget. 

 

Team Fees

 In addition to registrations fees most teams have team fees associated with the team budget.  These fees range in value and are higher for the most competitive teams (AA, AAA).  

  • These fees cover tournaments, team costs etc. 
  • The team fee budgets are developed by coaching staff and team managers and are shared with parents/guardians early in the season for review.  Team managers will collect these fees and keep parents/guardians informed on the use of these funds. 
  • This information is being shared to ensure that parents/guardians are aware of these additional costs. If you have any concerns about team budgets during the year please do not hesitate to bring forward to your team manager or in confidentiality to a member of the Chebucto Executive.

 

Players trying out for other teams (Highschool, U15 Major, etc

If you are trying out for another team outside of CMHA please reach out to Alicia Payne, registrar@chebuctominorhockey.com to inform. 

You will not register online. 

 

Should you be unsuccessful in making another team outside of Chebucto we will process your registration at that time.  No late fee will be applied to those who inform us of their intentions

50/50 Credits

50/50 credits have been applied to player accounts.  If you do not see your 50/50 there could be a couple of reasons; 

  • You are registering under a different username.   50/50 have been applied based on the registration details stored in our system.  Some players have multiple accounts.
  •  You are registering under a new username.   50/50 have been applied based on the registration details stored in our system.  If you create a new account, the credits are likely under the previously used account.  

If you are missing your 50/50 please reach out to Alicia Payne, registrar@chebuctominorhockey.com. We will investigate.
