TRY OUT INFORMATION

Pelham Minor Hockey 2025- 2026 U18 and U 21Tryout Season.

We will begin with optional pre skates for all current PMHA U18 and U21 age players in the coming weeks. There is no charge for these skates and you do not need to check in before the skate.  This is just to dust the cobwebs off your blades and get back on the ice!  

Please see the times below: 
U 18 -Wednesday September 4, 2025 at 9:00 pm and Thursday September 5, 2025 at 8:00 pm.

U 21 - Wednesday September 20,  2025 at 7:00 and Saturday September 13, 2025 at 5:15 pm.

Tryouts will begin on September 7, 2025 for the Pelham Minor Hockey U18 REP team and the following week on September 14, 2025 for U21. 

Please see the calendar posted on  https://pelhamminorhockey.com  for the list of all tryout times.

Please see below for a few important things to note:
ALL Players MUST be PRE-REGISTERED for tryouts.  You must click the registration link below and sign up for tryouts.  If you are not pre registered you will not be allowed on the ice 😀


  • For U18 players, there is a tryout fee of $120.00 to be paid in CASH at the door.  PLEASE NOTE THAT NO SKATERS WILL BE ALLOWED ON THE ICE WITHOUT PAYMENT.  Please plan ahead, visit an ATM and have cash ready.

    For U21 players, there is a tryout fee of $50.00 to be paid in CASH at the door.  PLEASE NOTE THAT NO SKATERS WILL BE ALLOWED ON THE ICE WITHOUT PAYMENT.  Please plan ahead, visit an ATM and have cash ready.
  • You must come and sign in at the table before heading to the changeroom please. This is where you will pay the tryout fee, receive your jersey and be assigned your tryout number.
  • All skaters will be guaranteed 2 skates.  Numbered releases will begin after the second skate.
  • Skaters will be given a tryout jersey that will need to be returned after EACH skate.  After the tryout, players will be asked to come and hang up their jerseys on the rolling rack at the sign in desk. Please do NOT leave your jersey in the change room, on the floor or in your bag.
  • There will be evaluations taking place at all tryout skates by both coaches and PMHA independent evaluators.
  • It is suggested that you arrive 45 minutes BEFORE the tryouts begin to get  your assigned jersey and be ready to go.
  • Please do not arrive minutes before the tryouts begin and look for your  questions to be answered.  Coaches are preparing their tryouts, and getting organized. They are unavailable. 
  • Please ensure that your skater has checked all equipment including neck guard,  mouth guard and water bottle.  Being prepared calms the nerves for skaters and parents.
  • Releases will be made using a number system this year.  This is new.  At sign in, your child will receive a card with an individualized number when they check in.  This number will be posted on the PMHA website after each skate to let you know if your child is continuing on in the tryout process.  If your number is NOT posted, you have been released.
  • *New signing process* Once the coach has decided to offer you a spot on the team, the Registrar will be sending out a link that you MUST complete within a timely manner.  It is only once this link has been completed that you are considered “signed” and your spot secured.
  • Things happen, and kids get sick, hurt etc.  If you are in a situation where your child is unable to attend the tryout for one of these reasons, please communicate with us.
Please reach out with any questions and we are happy to help navigate you through this exciting and nerve-racking time.
