The Pre-Tryout Skates will be high tempo skates designed to prepare players for upcoming tryouts and will focus on important fundamental skills including skating, passing, shooting, and checking, as well as small games and full-ice scrimmages.  

Please email Kim Feno, and we will assign you a session and confirm time works.  It is recommended that players who are interested should register early as space is limited.
