General try out details


The try out fee ($100) includes a guaranteed three skates (two skates for U14 and U18) and a try out jersey.  Any try out after this date is by invite only. It is also important to note that the three skates do not have to be in sequence.

QWMH is planning a second team at the U14 age group. There will be an additional fee for ice time only once determined how many players will be participating in these tryouts.


Fees must be paid in full before the start of tryouts and can be sent by etransfer to [email protected]  Please include the participants name in the notes and the team they are trying out for.

No new player may attend a try out after the first two scheduled ice times. 

Players must be residentially qualified or provide an approved Non Residential Player passport.  Passports are available from your home centre for players in U12(2012) and older and must be presented at the first tryout.  If you are unsure of your residential qualification please ask.

Players must be in good standing with their association and previous team to be eligible to participate in try outs.

Players interested in exercising the reverse NRP option to try out for a base category below A  must fulfill all try out commitments at their home centre.

Players that wish to try out in an older age group must follow the below as published in the QWMHA constitution.

a) To be eligible for any additional entry team, a player must previously have tried out for either a minor or major rep team.
b) If a child would like to play in a higher age division, they must inform the First Vice President, in writing, 14 days before the first try out.
4.2 In order for a player to move to a higher division they must meet the following criteria.
1) Defence – Must be evaluated as top defence to the team the player wishes to go to.
2) Forward – Must be evaluated as top two forwards to the team the players wishes to go to.
3) Goalie – Must be the top goalie from the team leaving. - Evaluated as the top goalie in the team they are going to. - Age-appropriate team has to have two qualified rep goalies as determined by a third party evaluator.
4) No player movement will occur if the age-appropriate team does not meet minimum player requirements for that given season. (9 forwards, 6 defence, 2 goalies)

6) Request for player up evaluations must be submitted in writing to the QWMHA office a minimum of two weeks prior to the first try out.
