****** Please See Updated Schedules Below *****

Hello U11 Parents!

Thank you so much for your patience, flexibility, and all of your support as we’ve worked through the planning and prep to get us to our first Rust-Off, which is just a couple of days away!

There have been a couple of pivots along the way, but thankfully, a lot of the schedule remains the same. I’ve updated the full schedule below for everyone’s convenience, please review and make any updates to your calendars necessary.

A few important reminders:

First Rust-Off Check-In & Jerseys
Before heading into the change room for the first Rust-Off, each player or parent must check in with me or a Metcalfe volunteer in the lobby. This is where I’ll be handing out jerseys for evaluations.

Jersey Numbers - Please Remember Them!
For every evaluation, the parent or player must check in with me and provide their jersey number. Please make sure your player knows their number - we’ll need to know it each time they check in.

Quick Turnaround to the Bubble Game
Please be aware that there will be a very quick turnaround between the final evaluation and the bubble games for any players who are identified to play in that game. We’ll do our best to keep things moving smoothly, so please be ready to go!

We’re getting very close now, and I know there’s a lot of excitement (and probably a few nerves!) as we head into the weekend. Thank you again for being so supportive, patient, and flexible throughout the process. We really appreciate it!

The updated schedule is below — please take a look and make sure you know where and when your player needs to be.

And a huge shoutout to our volunteers!

A massive thank you to all of the parents, as well as our U18 and U14 friends, who are contributing their time and energy to help make this season one for the books for your players! We truly couldn’t do it without you.

We have 18 timeslots from rust-off to Evaluations - that's over 100 volunteer spots to fill!!

We still have a few volunteer gaps to fill, so if you’re able to lend a hand, we would really appreciate your support. Every bit helps, and it makes a huge difference in creating a great experience for our U11 Players.

See you at the rink!

**********************************************************************************

Below are our U11 Rust-Off groups. Players have been placed in alphabetical order. All players registered as of September 1st should be on this list. Players also trying out for the Canucks will be added to groups if they are released.

Rust-Offs are not mandatory but are encouraged. Attendance does not impact eligibility to attend the Evaluations. Rust-Offs are conditioning-focused ice times only and no player evaluation will take place during these sessions.

Although unlikely to change, I still encourage families to check this site regularly in case there are any changes to ice times or locations.

Players/parents must check in with me or a Metcalfe volunteer in the lobby before going to the change room. 

Jerseys

• Players will receive their numbered tryout jersey at the first Rust Off or Sort Out sessions. These must be worn for each evaluation session. Other personal jerseys can be worn during the Rust-Offs.
• Players are to bring their own hockey socks.
• There is a fee for any lost or damaged jerseys.

If you have any questions, please contact me at u11convenor@metcalfejets.ca
