Tryout Information ~ 2008-2009

Tryouts for Mountain States Youth Hockey will run from August 11-17, 2008. This tryout will consist of Squirts through Midget Majors. This season (2008-9) we will offer AA (Tier II) at Peewee, Bantam and Midget Minor age levels which will compete in the CCYHL. We will also have hockey at the A, B and C Skill Levels at the various age divisions which will compete in the CDYHL. As in the past we will be offering over 100 hours of practice ice this season. Our practice ice time will range from 104 hours to 141 hours for our Squirts through Midgets. Our Mite and younger (Initiation Program) sessions begin in September and will have some ice time during Tryouts in August.

Mountain States Youth Hockey is looking for additional Hockey Coaches to fill out our coaching staff. Please contact Hockey Director, Tim Knox at 970-217-7950 or timpuck@aim.com. Become part of the success, become part of the Renegades family and winning tradition!

USA Hockey Registration

We are requiring that all players have their 2008-9 USA Hockey Registration completed prior to tryouts. This can be done by going to www.usahockeyregistration.com. Colorado residents, Squirts through Midgets pay $47 this season ($30 for USA Hockey and $17 to CAHA). Mite players (2000 birth year and younger) pay $30 this season (no CAHA fee is required). For players with birth years 2002 and younger, there is no USA Hockey fee or CAHA fee (USA Hockey online registration is still required). This is an easy procedure that can be done online. Once completed, please email the confirmation to brianmckinley@mountainstateshockey.com prior to tryouts.

Hockey Gear Storage & Carpooling

Our players are also allowed to keep their hockey gear at the rink. This is a big plus as it helps with carpooling. With kids from the surrounding communities, we have had a lot of success with team members carpooling. Sometimes four to five kids in a group. This works well when the gear is kept at the rink. It also cuts down on driving. A carpool of four in theory means driving to every fourth practice. Our parents have welcomed this benefit over the years. The owners of Mountain States Ice Arena provide this for the Renegades.
