How are tryouts going for everyone?

Now that we're halfway through April, how are tryouts going?

Any good stories or horror stories to share?

 

Lots going on this week - SCIR, Vengeance, PPE, NP particularly for 06 BY.  I also heard many new faces trying out for PPE, while PPE Black players from last year trying out for Vengeance 06.  Also heard 06 Icemen tryout was cancelled due to low interest level while PPE 07's had a significant amount of turn on their roster this past tryout.

Big changes for the cursed SCIR 07 BY team- it’s gone. Replaced by a Vengeance 07 AAA team that took the top SCIR skaters but also pulled in a number of PE kids and a coach.  Efforts to put together the SCIR 07 team with the kids that didn’t make Vengeance fell apart when 10 kids declined spots. Good news for Viper Stars, Huskies, Badgers, and other programs. The SCIR PW Navy mixed year team should be strong again as well. After having two teams in PAHL Peewee AA this season (the 07s shouldn’t have been there but that’s another story), SCIR will likely have no AA PW teams in the fall.

I just checked the SCIR website and it states they formed two 07 BY year teams.  Are you saying both teams now do not exist due to Vengeance / kids declining?  If that is the case what a mess.........the least they could do is remove results of the tryouts and them claiming to have two BY teams.

The second BY team folded

With PPE and NP completing their 05/06 tryouts, anyone have info on the tryout numbers for Vengeance / SCIR as their tryouts began this past week?  Any truth to the rumor of kids that made PPE Black turning down their spots for a shot to make Vengeance?  Will the Renegades 06 BY team be strong or diluted because of Vengeance?

What's the obsession with Harmar organizations? Do you realize that they're both basically one and the same? Just like NHAHA rosters Esmark and BV rosters Icemen so does SCIR roster Vengeance.

If your question is directed at me I was only inquiring - no obsession.  And no, they are not one and the same as it is my understanding Vengeance 06 will be a higher level than SCIR 06 AA.

And yes, one feeds into another.

The 18uAA tryouts that we went to, went well.  The team was not "pre-picked..." but we pretty much could guess most of the players who would make the team based on how the 2 day tryout went.  The big surprise was a lot of players from Esmark and Vengeance showed up.  19 players in total picked for the team, all 19 accepted.  Only tried out one place.  Easy on the pocket book this year LOL.

Where did this take place? It's good to hear because 18 is always so difficult to get committed players who will actually commit to a team without playing games.

Allegheny.  Lots of talent all around, was very surprised at the turnout.  Didn't see that one coming.  I did hear that the Vengeance isn't fielding an AAA 18u team, and it looks like some of the Esmark parents (and players) maybe finally had enough(???).  So thus the pickup in # of tryouts...

Not getting the rationale by MLHA having 04 and 05 tryouts over MidAm Select Camp weekend, and then selecting a full 2005 roster while there could be cast-offs from the 05 AAA Preds going on right now.  Could leave a few quality players out there looking for a home by the end of this week.

That makes sense in theory, but hard to believe players who are invited to MidAms would not have locked up their spot on their desired team by this point in time. Even if that meant the player were missing one of the Tryout sessions that an organization had scheduled.

Probably true.
