The following is our anticipated* pre-season Travel Schedule for clinics and tryouts to help families plan their end of summer schedules.

1. We will start the preseason travel clinic one week later than previous years on Monday, August 19th. Many families have indicated a desire for the season to start later and hopefully, this will help those on final getaways before school starts.
2. We will offer optional pre-clinic 3 on 3/small area games sessions from August 13-19. Each age division will skate four times that week. Small-area games are designed to focus on multiple skills and situations, increasing puck touches and situational repetition.  A TON OF FUN!
3. Mite Tryouts will be the same dates as last season: August 23-26.
4. Squirts through Bantams tryouts cannot begin until September 1st . This is an Amateur Hockey Association of Illinois (AHAI) rule. Our plan at this time is to have tryouts for our “top” teams beginning Monday, 9/2 and concluding Tuesday 9/3. Tryouts for all other teams will be Wednesday, September 4th and 5th.

The * above regarding the timing of our clinics and tryouts: there are several programs in the Chicago area that are petitioning AHAI to change the dates of tryouts to eight day prior to Labor Day. This will be voted on at the AHAI Annual meeting in June.
