Dear Parents and Guardians,

As we move through the tryout phase for the upcoming season, I want to remind everyone of the importance of maintaining a positive and respectful environment for our players, coaches, and volunteers. To support this, Chebucto Minor Hockey Association follows the “24-Hour Rule.” We kindly ask that parents wait at least 24 hours after receiving any tryout-related news before reaching out to volunteers or staff with questions or concerns. This period allows time for reflection and ensures that all discussions are constructive and focused on the best interests of the players.

I also want to highlight that player movement between lists is a normal part of the tryout process. Just because a player may not appear on the first list does not mean they won’t have opportunities to move up. The evaluation process continues throughout tryouts, and players can be reassessed and moved as we work to place everyone in the position that best suits their skills and development.

We encourage all players to stay focused, give their best effort, and trust that the process is designed to support their growth. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation in helping us create a supportive and fair environment for all.

If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out—after the 24-hour period.

Sincerely,  

CMHA
