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.
