Opening skates and player evaluation/tryout dates for the 2024-25 season will be posted here, closer to the start of the season in September.
Each player, at age U9 and above, will have the opportunity to attend four on-ice Skills Development sessions before Evaluations for MD/Rep teams commence.
Register & cost for U11, U13, U15 Evaluation Skates: $25/player; at least two sessions guaranteed before any cuts made. Please register before the first scheduled session.
PDMHA registered players are welcome to sign up and attend evaluation skates, even if they are not interested in trying out for rep-level hockey, if they would like the extra ice time - the $25 fee still applies. U15 players not interested in rep-level hockey are encouraged to attend the evaluation skates for U13.
Players from A/AA/AAA centres must have a Non-Resident Player passport or ATM form (U15 only), obtained from their home centre.
There is no cost to attend the Skills Development sessions, but players must be registered with PDMHA beforehand, or have registered for the Evaluations/Tryouts with NRP or ATM documentation.
Check the team schedules for updates on a regular basis - if exhibition games are scheduled, some changes may be required.
