Hello Carstairs Hockey Families.

I hope your summer has been amazing and can't believe we are right around the corner from the 2022/2023 hockey season.

I have some important information regarding the Evaluations this year. We will be providing 4 prep skates for U9 and U11. These are not mandatory and have no bearing on evaluation scores. The goal of these skates is to get the kids familiar with the Evaluation process and let them have some fun on the ice with their friends before evaluations. Due to the large numbers of U9 players this year we will be splitting this level into four teams for evaluations, (Yellow (Y) and (Z) / White (Y) and (Z)). U11 will have two teams (Yellow/White). The team selection for the first two evaluation skates will be done randomly and subject to change at the evaluation committee's discretion. There will be a “re-seed” of the teams and players before the third Evaluation skate to make evenly matched teams based off the evaluation scores from the first two evaluation skates. Please follow this page for updates to team list and schedules. Evaluation jerseys will be handed out during sign-in on September 20th. We will collect them back and wash them after the second evaluation skate on the 22nd and re-distribute them at sign-in on the 24th for the scrimmages. For the U7 program, there is no official evaluation, and the teams will be split evenly during the first two group skates which will happen on September 24th and 25th. All Teams will be announced on September 26th and start practicing together on September 27th. Click BELOW to access and download the Evaluation Process.
