Guest wrote: ↑Mon Apr 22, 2024 7:34 am If a coach says his team is “full” but has tryouts can I still have my kid show up and skate at that tryout.

Are you still looking for a spot? Why don't go to tryout with team that needs a player?

Associations mandate each team has a tryout no matter what. If the coach says the team is full, you can go skate but you won't be seriously considered, he views it as extra ice time for his rostered team. This person is correct, skate with teams with a spot available as a priority.

Thanks. I'm going to make a few more calls this week. We were skating with the Rattlers but based on the last skate over the weekend it seems the better players have all committed to other teams. I don't want to put my son through a team which will have more losses than wins.

Go where he'll get the best development. Half the teams will have more losses than wins, and the teams with winning records are most likely not looking for players at this point. Not the time to be picky, my advice would be take the Rattlers spot if your son in fact has a spot there.

Says the coach or parent...

I'm a parent, ex-head coach, and current assistant coach, only trying to offer advice. My son has had nothing to do with the Rattlers ever, he's been on the same team for the last 3 seasons. Good luck.

Sounds like you have a good team and parent group to stick around for 3 seasons. Happy to hear that based on what you read from this group and hear from other parents. This Rattlers team seems to be a total gong show

I heard Rattlers forwards look ok but they have no defence.

The Rattlers forwards look good for A but not AA. I was at the skate, I would agree the D's which came out is worse but forwards are not an improvement from last year. The few returning from the old team are not the greatest either. Their best players went to the Beast.
Rattlers will be bottom half next year. Unlike the Beast who replaced for better players, the Rattlers replaced for worse, and they lost strong defense

Pass the puck on the left hand side, pass the puck on the left hand side and they can score. Everybody celebrate and jump around they scored a goal.....
