I like the idea of the kids being able to step away from the ice if they choose during the summer months, which I believe was the original intent of moving the tryouts from May to august. In reality moving the tryouts to august has had the exact opposite result. Kids need to skate all summer to be prepared for the august dates and if they choose to not skate all summer they could be left behind

It is better for the kids and parents. Kid’s are still conditioned, parents can plan summer break and fall, camps are readily available if you’re want to find a time up prior to tryouts. So much better!

Pushing tryouts late into summer is not the wishes of the parents and coaches at these age groups. Speaking as both. Is this to benefit private instructors that gain clients that may otherwise may take the summer off if they had a position in place? No other explanation seems to make sense. Please join so many other states that have many more years of track record with this approach. Please let hockey take a break for the summer by settling rosters early, when players are at their prime, and allow it to shut down.
