A quick reminder that tryouts for most youth hockey teams are this week or next. Check your club's website for dates and times! I encourage any fellow parents out there to be encouraging and supportive. Get a bunch of carbs into their system at least an hour before showtime, and head to the rink early. Try not to contribute to your player's already considerable stress level. If you are a mite parent, don't even call it a tryout. Call it the first practice.
My mantra is 'Do your best out there and, hey, have fun ok?'. I like the rinks that don't let you watch the tryout. If you can watch, consider mingling with the other parents in the lobby instead.
Good luck to all of the players at their tryouts!
