Welcome to the 2021 -
22 Peewee AA (U13) Evaluation Camp
Coach: Steve Ahlberg
[email protected] 519-588-9255
There will be other coaches to be named at a later date.
Commitment and Expectations
Participation in Rep hockey requires commitment, dedication and sacrifice on the part of coaches, players and families. There may be in excess of 4 ice times per week including games, tournaments, dryland sessions, skills sessions (with U of W varsity hockey teams) and practices.
Please let the coach know as soon as possible if you are not prepared as a player to make the commitment, or as a parent to have your daughter play at this level. If you are only at try-outs to get ice time please let us know. Any player not intending to play for the team will be asked not to return after the first tryout.
Evaluation Camp
Process During the sessions, players will be evaluated on work ethic, hockey sense, competitiveness, team play and individual skills. We are looking for players with a strong work commitment, a solid skill base with a focus on puck patience, and who put the team first. An ability to listen to the coaches and learn the game while maintaining a positive attitude is important as well.

Releases
After the third icetime, we will be posting jersey numbers on the Ravens website of the players invited to return for the next try-out. The jersey number assigned at the first try-out will be the number posted. If you wish to speak with me after your daughter has been released, I will be happy to speak with you 24 hours after the release. We ask parents to be mindful and respectful of the task that the coaching staff faces in selecting the final team.
Reminders
Please follow COVID protocols for when players are expected to arrive at the rinks and when they may enter and exit
Players are to be dressed, ready to go on the ice a few minutes before the scheduled ice time.
Parents are asked not to stay in the area of the dressing room when at the rink (if possible with COVID restrictions)
Jerseys are to be returned at the end of each icetime
Please inform the head coach if your daughter is unable to attend an icetime or is withdrawing from the evaluation process.
Regular Season
The Waterloo Ravens are members of the OWHA. The tentative loop for this team will be communicated to you as soon as it’s finalized. The game schedule will be available in late September.
Tournaments
Tournaments will be chosen during the summer months and communicated to team members at that time. We will be attending 4 or 5 tournaments, including the Ravens tournament.
We hope to qualify for the following Tournaments:
LLFHL Championship Tournament Late March 2022
Provincial Championship Tournament Early April 2022 Team Fees
Successful players are responsible for paying the following: Ravens General Registration Fees, Rep Fees and Team Fees. The full team budget will be reviewed at the Parent/Player meeting. We also plan to do some fundraising during the year to offset some of the cost.
Parent/Player Meeting
Our first 2021-22 Parent/Player meeting will be held virtually in mid September. It is imperative that at least one parent attend the meeting. We will be approving the team budget, reviewing the plans for the 2021-22 season and filling important volunteer roles for our team.
Best of luck to everyone in the Evaluation Camp! Thank you for participating.
