Update: September 15 (11:30 PM)
Welcome to the 2025-2026 U11 Metcalfe Jets!
Please ensure you check-in here for any updates throughout the season. All official communications related to the Pre-Season Rust-offs and Sort-outs will be posted here. Email blasts will be utilized to alert you of changes here only.
Pre-Season
For most this won't be your first rodeo. Pre-season activity includes Rust-off sessions and House League Sort Outs. Our goal is to slot each player into a situation where they can compete and thrive.
Sort-outs
Once we've removed all of the rust, we'll get going on the sort-out process. We'll be evaluating players through a number of skill-based drills where we'll gather objective data (counts, times, etc.), and scrimmage where we'll evaluate each players application of skills in the context of the game.
We will ensure that evaluators are independent from the U11 player cohort. While you may see U11 parents in and around the rink (and some may be asked to help guide on-ice evaluation stations) rest assured that they will in no way be able to influence the evaluated results.
All players have been assigned a numbered sort-out jersey. The sort-out groups and final results will all be posted using these numbers exclusively. Players MUST wear their numbered jersey for all evaluation sessions. Players must attend their assigned session.

Volunteers
To the parents and guardians. If you are willing and interested in volunteering to assist in an on-ice capacity (Head or Assistant Coach, Helper, Trainer) or with a behind the scenes role (Manager, Treasurer) please review the Volunteer Information and instructions.
IMPORTANT - The registrar has indicated that all coaches MUST register through Spordle as a volunteer to ensure that the process of documenting coaching credentials can be completed efficiently. It does't cost anything to register and you are not obligating yourself by doing so.
Note: Without coaches, trainers, and managers, the players aren't able to get on the ice as a team.
Questions?
If you have any questions at all, please feel free to reach out to your co-convenors via email at any time. Please remember, we will be observing the 24 hour rule in response.
