U14 B Tryouts - 1st Liaison Communication

2024-08-13 - U14 B

Greetings,
 
Welcome to the 2024-2025 Ottawa Sting U14B try-outs! My name is Fiorella Padoin-Castillo, the U14 Liaison for this season. I will be your main point of contact throughout try-outs, and available throughout the season as required. Please do not hesitate to reach out at any time. 
 
This email is to give you an overview and expectations for the approaching tryout sessions.
 
Start Date: Your tryout series will start the first week of September 2024.  

Tryout Jerseys: For the entirety of the tryout series, your player will be identified by their tryout jersey number. Please ensure that you have a white and black tryout jersey with corresponding numbers, and that I have the correct number for your player. If your player does not have a set of Sting tryout jerseys, please attend the Sting Open House on Wednesday, August 14th at the Canterbury Community Centre between 6:30 and 8:00 pm. Should you not be able to pick up a tryout jersey that evening, please arrange for someone else to pick it up, or advise me by email and I will have a set available for your player at the first tryout session. It is your players responsibility to bring both jerseys to all tryout sessions.  Please check that your player has the two jerseys with matching numbers fore jersey night.

Schedule: The full tryout schedule for U14 can be found here:  U14. You will receive more specific communication ahead of the start of tryouts.  Note, not all players will be required to attend all sessions listed in the calendar for your cohort.  Your player will be assigned specific days and times to attend. 

Goalie Evaluation Sessions: There is also a goalie skills assessment that only goalies are required to attend, more details to follow.  For U12 to U16, the goalie evaluations will be on August 25, 2024, from 9:15 am to 2:15 pm, with time assignments to follow.  

U14 Contact Clinics:  All U14 players (other than golies) are required to attend one checking session.  If you have already participated in the U14AAA tryouts you may request an exemption.  The sessions are as follows:
  • ​U14 players with last name's beginning with "A" to "H" will have a contact clinic on August 22, 2024 from 5:00-6:00 pm at Richcraft Sensplex.
  • U14 players with last name's beginning with "I" to "Z" will have a contact clinic on August 22, 2024 from 6:00-7:00 pm at Richcraft Sensplex.
Coach Letter: If you have yet to acquaint yourself with the coaches, they are:   
U14AA Head Coach:  Jeff Scobie
U14B Head Coach:  Tyler King


While tryouts can be a stressful time, the process is meant to place every player at the proper level for their development. It is important that your player be well rested and hydrated in order for them to perform at their best. This is the start of their season and will set the tone for the season ahead.

We hope that your player enjoys their tryout experience and has fun while out on the ice! Know that we have an exceptional coaching staff at all levels, who will ensure all kids have a great season!

Please check your email daily for future communications and tryout assignments. Each email will also be posted under this age cohort on the Sting website, U14B News Section.  
 
Any questions, please let me know! 
 
Warmly, 
Fiorella Padoin-Castillo
U14 Liaison
