Each age group will be split into two groups.
12U and 14U players will skate once Friday (5/16), Saturday (5/17) and Sunday (5/18).
10U players will skate twice Saturday and once on Sunday.
Teams will be sorted and you will recieve your specific tryout times by Wednesday of next week. We will not be able to accomodate specific time requests. We know that many of you have other sports and activities, but we cannot possibly work around 12 teams worth of players' family schedules.
The groups will be split EXCLUSIVELY based on the team that they played on last year. The group that your player is assigned to DOES NOT determine what team he or she will make. Players assigned to both groups are eligible to make any of the four travel teams. Coaches and staff will determine if a player should be moved between the two groups throughout the weekend based on performance.
This year's goalie session will take place at 8:30am on Saturday for ALL goalies. Goalies will skate in their assigned scrimmages AND the goalie session.
All sessions are at the Carmel Ice Skadium. Please arrive at least 40 minutes before your first ice session to check in and receive your jersey assignment.
With the remaining travel tryouts right around the corner, we have put together a sheet with the most common questions we’ve received over the past few weeks with regard to Jr Fuel Travel, Tier 1 vs 2, All-Star teams, practices and format. Please check out the most frequently asked questions and answers below.
Q: What is Tier 1 vs Tier 2 travel?
A: Tier 1 is AAA travel hockey. Tier 2 is all full travel teams below the AAA level. Tier 2 teams are referred to as Gold, Black, Red and White teams.
Q: Why do 10U Travel teams cost the same as 12U?
A: The roster sizes are smaller. 10U players can handle more ice time in games without fatigue and we believe that it is critical for 10U player development to keep the roster sizes as small as possible.
Q: Where will travel teams practice?
A: Travel teams will rotate between Carmel, Ice Barn and the Fuel Tank for practices. No travel team will have an exclusive home rink.
Q: How often do travel teams practice?
A: All 10U travel teams have two team practices per week (1 shared ice/one with only their team) and a bi-weekly skills and goaltender practice. 12U and 14U travel teams all practice three times per week with one of them being a skating/goaltending practice each week. For 2024-2025 travel practices begin the week of August 26th and end on March 2nd.
Q: What are the uniform requirements for Travel vs 317 Hockey League?
A: Travel teams require a black helmet, black pants and some version of black/red/white gloves. 317 Hockey League has no requirements other than the team game jerseys and socks.
