Thank You - U10 A Tryouts & Next Steps
Please click to Read
Dear Players and Families,
I want to take a moment to sincerely thank each of you for attending the first two tryouts for the U10 A Hespeler Shamrocks.
It’s been truly special to see the energy, passion, and effort each player has brought to the ice.
Watching these young athletes skate with determination, push themselves through each drill, and encourage their teammates has been a powerful reminder of why we love this game.
I know tryouts can be both exciting and nerve-wracking—for players and parents alike—and I want to recognize the heart and courage it takes to step on the ice and give it your all. Every single athlete should be proud of what they’ve shown so far. The effort, focus, and respect I’ve witnessed speak volumes about the character of this group.
Unfortunately, not all players will be moving on in the tryout process.
Please check the updated tryout list to see your athlete’s status and whether they have been selected to move on to the exhibition game:
Those who have not been selected are strongly encouraged to attend the U11 Advanced Local League tryouts—a fantastic opportunity to continue developing skills and playing competitive hockey.
For players moving on, your status will indicate selection for the upcoming exhibition game. I understand the game time in New Hamburg may not be ideal, but I ask that players arrive 45 minutes before puck drop if possible.
Please remember to bring a water bottle and a mouthguard.
Thank you again for your hard work and commitment. I’m proud of every single player who came out and gave their best.
All the best,
Coach Jesse
