WC HUB AA Tryouts - Tryouts will begin with physical distance sorting the week of Sept. 14-20th for all 4 teams. All players will be provided with a minimum of two skates & then cuts will be made in order to get our team numbers down to cohort levels, based on information provided to us from Hockey Alberta.

The initial skates for all teams will follow with guidelines set out by Hockey Alberta and AHS in order to provide a safe environment for all competitors. More information with regards to times and dates will be provided by Sept. 13th for all players.

AAA & AA Tryouts: Can a player attend both tryouts?

AAA tryouts will start with two physical distancing skates. This is not considered a cohort group and and players released after those two skates will not have to wait the 14 days. After the first two skates they will go into a cohort with the remaining players. Red Deer AAA is required to have teams selected and registered by September 27th. Any players released between the start of the cohort and the 27th will be required to isolate before joining another cohort.

AA tryouts will start the week of September 14th with physical distancing skates. All players are able to join these skates as they will be distanced and thus not considered a cohort. We will continue physical distance tryouts until at least the end of September as this allows players to leave the AAA cohort and immediately join our skates because we will still be using physical distancing. Any players released from AAA towards the end will have to wait the 14 days if we have already gone into our cohort. This 14-day wait will in no way affect their chances of making the AA team. Our teams are not required to be selected until October 25th, so there will be plenty of time to complete tryouts for those that have to isolate. The reality of this is that the last cuts coming from AAA tryouts will very likely be the better players trying out and we won't require multiple skates to make decisions for our teams.
