Evaluations (8U through 14U):
At the end of each season an evaluation session is held (typically at the end of March or beginning of April) for determining placement on a WYHA team. The assignment to a team is based on the skill of each player demonstrated at the evaluation sessions. All players at 10U level and higher must declare if they are going to tryout for Goalie or Skater. 12U and older skaters can choose to evaluate as either Defense or Forward. A player may only try out for one position, Goalie or Skater, and that is the position they will play for the

Please be aware that WYHA abides by the list of proper equipment mandated by USA Hockey and all players (including Learn to Play) must wear the following equipment: Helmet with a face cage, hockey gloves, shoulder pads, elbow pads, hockey pants, cup, shin guards and a neck guard. A player without this equipment will not be allowed to skate at any practice or game.
Although mouth guards are only mandatory at the 12U, 14U and 18U levels we strongly recommended the use of mouth guards at the 8U and 10U levels.
Please, note that the only required equipment for Learn to Skate participants is a hockey
helmet with a face cage and a neck guard.
