The tryout process, evaluations and criteria...
As we get closer to the start of the tryout sessions I thought it would be a good time to let everyone know what myself and the evaluators will be looking for when selecting the 17 players to form a cohesive team unit. Naturally there is a certain skill level that is required to play at the MD level and we will be looking at both skill level and overall hockey IQ, however, there are other things that we will be evaluating players on such as
Effort
Attitude
Team Play
Ability to take direction
Drill completion
While this is not necessarily a complete list hopefully it will allow for some clarity with respect to the difficult decisions I know will need to be made as we move through the process to a final team roster.
