Welcome to the KJR U11 Seeded Tryouts
Hello U11 Families,

My name is Scott Atkins, and I am the Head Coach for the U11 Kitchener Jr. Rangers Seeded team for the upcoming 2024/25 season. Tryouts begin on Saturday, April 27th, with three afternoon ice sessions on Saturday and then three ice sessions on Sunday morning. The players will be divided into three groups for their first two ice times. I have emailed you the group and ice time for your athlete on Saturday and Sunday.  If you have NOT received an email from myself stating the ice time for your athlete, please contact me directly.  If you haven't registered yet, please do so immediately. 

Once your player is assigned to a group, it is your responsibility to ensure they attend the correct ice time. The weekend ice times for each group are as follows:

- Group 1: 2pm – 3pm Saturday and 7:15am – 8:15am Sunday
- Group 2: 3pm – 4pm Saturday and 8:15am – 9:15am Sunday
- Group 3: 4pm – 5pm Saturday and 9:15am – 10:15am Sunday

On Monday evening, April 29th, we will hold two intrasquad games. Players will be assigned to a team and participate in one of two intrasquad games. Rosters for these games will be posted on the website by Sunday evening. Following these games, our coaching staff will announce, via the website, which players are invited to the exhibition game against Waterloo on Tuesday, April 30th. Players not listed on the website will have been released from the Seeded tryouts and are encouraged to register for the U11 BB/B evaluations.

If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me at [email protected].

Additional Information:
- Practices: (1) 1.5-hour weeknight practice and (1) 1 hour weeknight practice
- Dryland Training: Up to (1) per week.
- Games: Saturdays, Sundays, and occasional weekdays.
- Tournaments: Kitchener (Oct.), Tentatively Montreal/Lake Placid (Nov.), Oakville (Jan.), and another TBD.  
- Attendance: All players are expected to attend practices, games, tournaments, power skating/ goalie training, dryland, and team-building events. Hockey attendance takes precedence over other organized sports/extracurricular activities your player may be part of from September 2024 to April 2025.

Please check the team website and your email frequently for news, updates, and changes. I will communicate them as soon as possible.

Thanks

Scott Atkins

Donna's Kids is pleased to partner again for 2019/2020 season with Sun Life and their Kids In Gear program. Kitchener Minor Hockey Association, as part of their mandate, provides financial support for children in this community who, without our assistance, would not be afforded the opportunity to participate in organized hockey in the City of Kitchener. Monies for this cause have been donated by various individuals and organizations over the years, however with increasing demands we have the need to provide further support for this program. One hundred per cent of the funds raised by KIDS IN GEAR are channelled directly to purchase equipment for children.
