IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT TRYOUTS
JERSEY POLICY
All players must bring their own jersey to tryouts — this helps evaluators identify players by name and number.
- Currently in Rep: Bring both your dark and light game jerseys.
- Transitioning from House League: Bring your House League jersey.
- Players are assessed on their hockey skills — not the level of jersey they are wearing.

WHAT IS REP HOCKEY?
Rep Hockey (Representative Hockey) is a competitive level designed for players who wish to play beyond house league or recreational hockey. BGHC rep teams represent Burlington throughout the Southern Division of the Ontario Women's Hockey Association, offering hockey from U9 through U22.
The program aims to develop elite-level players to their greatest potential — physically, socially, and personally. There are four levels of competition to match a range of abilities and aspirations.
|
AA
|
AA — Elite: Highly skilled players with exceptional skills and team play. Highest pace of play and expectations for dedication.
|
|
A
|
A — Competitive: Passionate players refining their abilities. Often blends major and minor aged players. High competition with strong fundamentals.
|
|
BB
|
BB — Developing: Skilled players growing their game, including those transitioning from recreational hockey. Balanced competition and development.
|
|
B
|
B — Growth: Emphasises skill development beyond house league. Ideal for players new to competitive hockey or still emerging.
|
TRYOUT PROCESS
All players are guaranteed a minimum of two skates. Head Coaches begin evaluating eligible players from the time of their appointment and may offer spots before the formal tryouts begin. At tryouts, an impartial Player Selection Committee supports the Head Coach; the final decision rests with the Head Coach.
