Attendance at try-outs is mandatory, exceptions will only be made for school functions, church obligations and pre-planned/approved family events, injury or illness.

The PDC has drafted a power point (link below) for everyone to look at pertaining to tryouts. In this document, you will find everything you need to know about the tryout weekend. This document will hopefully provide the clarity necessary for everyone to have a successful weekend and have a deeper understanding of the process involved. The PDC puts an immense amount of time and effort into this weekend to make it a success. We firmly believe in the process and are very excited to see the direction it takes us!
Please take the time to review the document carefully and if you have any questions at all, please do not hesitate to reach out to our hockey director for clarification on any items. He can be reached at brent.potvin@brainerdhockey.com
Any questions or clarifications, if need be, will be addressed at the PDC level if deemed necessary.

EQUIPMENT RULES FOR TRYOUTS AND BEYOND
Sticks-
White or black colored tape only on the blade. Wax and knob color, if used, can be players choice.
Skate Laces-
White or black colored skate laces only
Helmet and gloves-
Royal Blue required for all levels including bantams. Bauer Blue also acceptable.
Breezers-
-Royal blue breezers will be required. Only exception to this is if a player has ordered breezer covers to wear. As a way to protect and prolong use of the covers, players will be allowed to practice without them but will be required to have them on for games. In this instance only, any color breezers are acceptable.
Hockey Socks-
-Must be brainerd colors be it blue, white or gray. Socks can be solid or striped. AAA socks will not be allowed for any BAHA in season practices or games.
Practice Jersey’s-
-For all in season practices, Brainerd solid colored jerseys or BAHA practice jerseys must be worn. AAA jerseys will not be allowed. If your player does not have a properly colored jersey, please let your coach know and they will find a solution for you.
Helmet Stickers-
-Any and all non Brainerd/BAHA stickers must be removed prior to tryouts. Brainerd stickers are ok to leave on.
Tryout requirements-
-Any player showing up to tryouts without the requirements listed above will be asked to leave the ice until the requirements are met. If a player misses an entire session due to not meeting the requirements, the missed session will not be able to be made up. All BAHA representatives (Board and PDC members) in attendance at tryouts will be enforcing the above requirements. For the tryouts, those using breezer covers, please wear them to tryouts if you don’t have royal colored breezers. If your covers have not arrived yet, if ordered and using a different colored breezer, please inform your child that they are coming so they can relay that message to a BAHA representative in the event they get questioned.
-Tryouts are an extremely busy time at the rink for multiple people. Please plan ahead and get your skates sharpened PRIOR to your first session if they are needing to be done. There is no guarantee that they will be able to get done on time at the rink if you wait until the day of. Starting the weekend off prepared and ready is the first step in having a successful tryout.
-As a reminder, all of our tryout sessions are closed to our members. Squirt parents, you are allowed to enter the rink to help tie your players skates if needed but will be required to leave the building after your players skates are tied.
-Please show up 45 minutes before your first session to get checked in and tryout jersey. These jerseys will be the players to use all weekend long and will be collected on Sunday after your final session.
-As a reminder, only the Friday groupings have been posted. Sat morning, sat evening and Sunday groupings will be sent out at the conclusion of the previous session. You must check to make sure you know your grouping for the next session. Coming to the wrong session may result in a missed session for your player.
