We’ve received several concerns regarding the prep skates, and we’d like to take a moment to clarify a few key points:
1. Yes, we did have to cap numbers for prep skates.
2. Yes, registration was on a first-come, first-served basis.
3. No, the prep skates are not connected to the tryout process.
4. Yes, players are still eligible to try out even if they did not participate in the prep skates.
We understand the frustration from families who were unable to secure a spot. Please know that demand was exceptionally high—over 300 players were eligible to participate, but we were only able to accommodate approximately 150 due to ice availability and capacity limits.
We appreciate your understanding and continued support.
