NO SPRING GEAR - during the evaluation process, players are not allowed to have any spring helmets/gloves/socks/stickers - players will be asked to leave the ice if we see spring gear on the ice and may miss a portion of their evaluation. Thank you for your understanding.
Please keep in mind that the U11 evaluation process is organized in such a way as to give each player the best possible hockey experience for the upcoming season. My desire is to see each Bobcat player in a position where they can compete and contribute with other players in their skill level. It is my commitment, along with all other Bobcat volunteers, to provide a positive hockey environment in order for the players to have a greater development on and off the ice.
If you have any questions, you can always email me at u11@saskatoonbobcats.com.
