General Tryout Information

Before registration, it is suggested you review the newly updated QCHA Tryout Policy as well as the Travel Hockey Policies and Guidelines available on the website.  If you wish to have your player "try up", there is a form found at the bottom of this page that needs to be filled out and sent to the Travel Director.  Your player will not be evaluated at the higher level without this form.  Policies & Procedures

Membership in USA Hockey 2024-25 is required and you can be taken to the USA Hockey site (https://membership.usahockey.com/) as a part of the QCHA registration.   If your player has a 2007 Birth Year or older, your player will be required to complete the Safe Sport Training.  Any player that has not completed this training will not be allowed to practice until it is complete.

For planning purposes, pre-registration at least a week in advance is greatly appreciated.

Travel hockey is a highly competitive, demanding activity. Players will be challenged, and supported, to constantly grow in all aspects of the game.  A high level of commitment, strong work ethic, resilient personal make-up, responsible sense of teamwork and loyalty to Ice Eagles hockey will be expected of all who choose to participate on these teams.

When tryouts are conducted, all skaters should be at the River’s Edge 30 minutes in advance to check-in and secure their tryout jersey.  All players should be fully dressed and ready to go at least five minutes before your tryout ice time.

** If you have not already done so, you must first create an account or login to your account  on the QCHA website before trying to register online.
