To all Chebucto Families,

Evaluations are in full swing and we are now through the first big weekend of ice sessions; players have been working hard, and most importantly, having fun.

Obviously, people are anxious to know how things are shaping up and what schedules will look like moving forward, as we move towards final team placements. The evaluation committee is working very hard behind the scenes to make this happen, and while there are still many moving pieces, we wanted to pass along some information to help guide you through the next stages of evaluations.

For U11, after finishing skills sessions yesterday, players will now be grouped for upcoming intersquad games which will begin on Wednesday, October 5 at SMU. Lists for these games will be posted no later than Tuesday, October 4 at 11 pm.

For U13, after the intersquad game tonight, players will be re-grouped again, and games will be scheduled for Wednesday, October 5 at the Lion’s Rink. Lists for these games will be posted no later than Tuesday, October 4 at 11 pm.

For U15, after the contact intersquad game on Tuesday, October 4, players will be re-grouped again, and games will be scheduled for Wednesday, October 5, and Thursday, October 6 at the Lion’s Rink. Lists for these games will be posted no later than Tuesday, October 4 at 11 pm.

For U18, we are still awaiting final cuts from High School evaluations to determine accurate numbers and as a result, these tryouts are still TBD.

In addition to this, we have also secured exhibition games for teams at all levels, with the exception of U18, against Sackville on Saturday, October 8 and Sunday, October 9. These games will be evaluated to determine final player placement for all levels, as well as final team configurations for the U11 and U15 levels only.

I would like to thank you all for your patience with regards to lists, schedules and other information being posted, and we look forward to the remainder of the evaluation process for all players.

Stephen, on behalf of the Evaluation Committee
