Rep Tryout Process & Expectations

If your player is registered for Rep tryouts, please review the updated Rep Tryout Process document, now posted on the BMHA website. It outlines the evaluation procedures, timelines, and expectations for both players and families - please note there are changes from last year.

In the coming days, Louise Tagulao, VP of Rep Hockey, will be emailing all tryout participants regarding additional information and expectations for players and families.
