2021-22 Tryouts
2021-22 tryouts will take place during the second week of classes. All prospective players are expected to be on time for each of the four tryout skates. Check-in will begin around 7:00pm on Fri 9/10; please arrive at Gutterson Fieldhouse through the main arena entrance with the $20 cash tryout fee, a completed tryout questionnaire, and signed waiver. Cuts will take place after each tryout session until the final roster has been selected. Players who tryout must be wearing full collegiate-level equipment, which means a full cage or bubble; players with “half shields” or no facial protection will not be permitted to skate.

Tryout Skate #1: Fri 9/10, 8:00-9:00 PM at Gutterson Fieldhouse
