Last Updated – September 15, 2026 (5PM) **Updated schedule for B-Level Balance games and players added**
**Updated day and time for B-Level Balance games**
New Date: Saturday, Sept 26 at 13:00-14:00 at Fred Barrett East.
This change was necessary as the quick turnaround time between the AB/BC Bubble games the night before, would pose a challenge to confirm the A and C teams, and identify who would play the next day in the B-Level games. This gives us more time to assess the evaluators' scoring properly.
Below is the NEW EVALUATION SCHEDULE and GROUPS.
Players/parents must check in with me or a Metcalfe volunteer in the lobby before going to the change room for each evaluation session. We will be confirming your jersey # with you each time – so make sure you know your child’s #.
Please note that there will be a quick turnaround time after Evaluation#3 (SATURDAY) for those players that will be identified to play in the AB/BC Bubbles games (SUNDAY).
TBD – Bubble teams and B-Level Balance games teams will be posted on the website.

Sort Out Jerseys
- Must be worn for each evaluation session. Jerseys will need to be returned to your coach or manager once assigned to a team. Players are to bring their own hockey socks.
- There is a $50 fee for any lost or damaged jerseys.
Evaluations
- This year we will be using SkillShark. As a result, you may notice evaluators looking at their phones throughout the sessions. They are not distracted; the SkillShark application is used to record and track evaluation results in real time.
- Evaluators do not know player names – only jersey #s.
Team Creation
- Final team announcements will be posted on the website once completed. We will post only players' jersey #s.
Please continue to monitor the schedule regularly for any additional updates. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact me at u9convenor@metcalfejets.ca

Welcome to the 2026-2027 U9 Metcalfe Jets season!
My name is Andrea, and I am excited to be your U9 Convenor this season!
Please read the U9 Season Start document that was shared in your welcome email for volunteer info, general program information and important dates. If you did not receive it, you may need to check your spam folder.
Important information for the start of the season:
Our season begins with Rust-Offs and House League Sort-Outs/Evaluations. Our goal is to place every player on a team where they can excel.
1. Communication
All official communication related to the Rust-Offs and Sort-Out schedule and location info will be communicated on this page. It is your responsibility to check this site regularly for updates as it is important that your child comes to the rink prepared and ready to take to the ice. MDHA does not rely on email during Rust-Off and Sort-Outs. Email may be used only to alert you to last-minute changes.
2. Volunteers Needed
We will need many volunteers to help on the ice during the Rust-Offs and Sort-Outs for set-up and running various drills. Please get in touch with me at u9convenor@metcalfejets.ca if you can help on the ice. High school students can also volunteer to receive volunteer hours.
3. Rust-Offs and Sort-Out Evaluations
- Rust-Offs are not mandatory but are encouraged. Attendance does not impact eligibility to attend Sort-Out evaluations. This gives the kids a chance to get the "rust off" before being evaluated. There are 4 Rust-Off sessions.
- Sort-Outs evaluate individual hockey skills fairly to help place players into balanced, appropriately tiered teams (A, B, or C) where they can develop and have fun. There are 3 Sort-Out sessions (plus a bubble game, if needed).
- The Rust-Off groups, Sort-Out groups, the schedule and location info will be posted on this page. These groups are generally sorted alphabetically to remove any question of bias.
- Players must be evaluated as a player (not as a goalie) for U9.
- Players also trying out for the Gloucester Rangers will be added/can join their group if they are released.
4. Social Media
I ask that you take a second to follow the Metcalfe District Hockey Association on Instagram and/or Facebook! We have a fantastic Social Media rep who will keep you informed of association updates and events.
If you have any questions, please contact me at u9convenor@metcalfejets.ca
