Re: Completion of Spring Tryouts AAA/AA
Hockey Canada granted HEO special dispensation from the Player Pathway policies to conduct Spring tryouts at the AA and AAA levels from U11 to U16. This permission was granted for the Tryout Sessions only, all other activities must adhere to the player pathway policies.
With the completion of the Spring Tryout Session’s HEO wants to ensure that all Association’s and Districts are aware that HEO will not sanction any activities for these teams prior to the start of the 2025/2026 regular season (as per the HEO/ Hockey Canada Pathways). Team pre-tryout practice/skill sessions begin the Tuesday after Labour Day.
No Off-season activities (On or Off Ice) are to take place. Players, Team Staff, Association and District Executives will not be covered by Hockey Canada Insurance if any non-Sanctioned activities occur.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact HEO Staff.
