I’d like to welcome all players and families to the Brant Battalion U-15B tryouts!
My coaching philosophy centers on three pillars: Hard work, Teamwork and Character. We’re looking for players who bring passion, grit, and a willingness to learn. We’ll evaluate your skating, puck skills, hockey sense, and, most importantly, your ability to work as part of a team. The team culture is a top priority so we’re looking for players who we believe bring a positive attitude both on and off the ice. Expect drills that push your limits, foster collaboration, and build the mental toughness needed to compete at a high level.
To the players: This tryout is an opportunity to show who you are as a player and a teammate. Arrive prepared, focused, ready to compete and give 100%. Whether it’s during drills or an exhibition game I’m looking for you to be playing with maximum intensity. So bring your best effort, support your peers, and don’t be afraid to make mistakes that’s how we grow.
Important info:
First tryout:
Date: Sunday, May 11th, 2025
Time: 4:00pm - 5:00pm
Where: Brant Sports Complex (Gurney Pad)
Please arrive at least 45 minutes before the ice time to check in, receive your tryout jersey and welcome letter. Players are encouraged to do a self directed warm up prior to hitting the ice so bring appropriate warm up attire and footwear. No dress code during the tryout process.
Tryout Updates:
I will post any tryout updates, releases, who will be dressing or sitting for exhibition games around 12:00 noon the day after a skate. This way you won’t have to stay up looking for updates, it will always be at this time.
Body Contact:
This is a full contact league. Mouth guards are required by OMHA.
I look forward to seeing everyone on Sunday, and wish all involved the best of luck. Any questions please don’t hesitate to reach out.
