Welcome to U15A Tryouts
Welcome to the U15A Peterborough Petes tryouts. Below you will find information on the tryout process and information on the upcoming season should you be successful in making the team.

Eligibility: Only players that have purchased a PHA passport are eligible to participate in the tryout skates. All players that have purchased a passport will receive a tryout code. The tryout code will be your code for the duration of the A tryout process.

Player Evaluations: There will be independent evaluators at every tryout. These evaluators have no affiliation with the U15A Petes or the Peterborough Hockey Association. They will be in the stands during each tryout and I ask that they not be bothered and to give them space.

Releases:  All releases will be posted on the PHA website the night of or the morning after each skate. Codes showing on the website are for players moving on to the next tryout. If you DO NOT see your code, your player has been released. Player feedback for those who are released should be requested by email to [email protected]. Tryouts are an extremely busy time; please allow 48 hours for the response. Unsuccessful players will be eligible and are encouraged to try out for the U15BB team.

Schedule: The tryout schedule is posted on the PHA website and will consist of 2 intersquad games and 3 exhibition games.

Successful Players: Successful players may be offered a roster spot and sign their letter of commitment at any time during the tryout process; these players may be asked to sit out of tryout games after they have made the team.

You should anticipate 2-3 practices per week and 1-2 regular season games per week.  The majority of home games will be Sunday afternoons/evenings.  We will be entering 4-5 tournaments throughout the year, including one home tournament January 29th-Febuary 1st.  The other tournament locations will be selected during the off season; the hope is to register in 2 tournaments that will require a hotel stay and 2 that are drivable.
