2010 Tryout / Training Camp Registration Now Closed
(posted February 2010)

Online Registration now Closed:
Online registration for the 2010 training camp is now closed. If you wish to attend camp then please contact headcoach John Kilbride .

Are you a graduating midget?:
At the moment, the Jr A draft has not been set for 2010 but it is likely the draft will happen sometime in late February. This means all graduating Midgets are free-agents until you are drafted, and you can therefore attend the Mountaineers tryout/training camp.

Our camp functions as both a tryout process, and as a Midget Identification Camp. This way you can show us your stuff and give us a better idea of your skill-set prior to the draft.

Tryout Process:
As mentioned under fees, the cost to tryout starts at $75.00 per player. This guarantees every player a minimum of 4 floor-times to show their stuff. After the first 4 floor-times, an initial round of releases/cuts will take place. After this, the team will be slowly trimmed down to the required number of runners and goalies over the next few weeks.

The Mountaineers reserve the right to charge additional tryout/training camp fees to help cover costs if required.

Current Schedule:
