The Canadian are pleased to be facilitating the Peewee AA program in the Northwest Zone and we would like to provide some information on the program for the 2018/2019 season.
Hockey Edmonton and the Peewee AA transition committee have made some changes to the 2018/2019 season for Peewee AA
This season the schedule will consist of
25 x 90 min Regular season games
40 x 1 hour City of Edmonton Arena practices
CAC will also add another 10 practices at CAC Arena to supplement the program so that it will follow a true 2 to 1 practice to game ratio.
Peewee AA Tryouts will not commence as mandated by Hockey Edmonton before September 3, 2018 and must be completed by September 15th, 2018
CAC have tentatively scheduled tryouts for Sept 8th and 9th, 2018
Please check the CAC Website throughout the summer under tryouts for your scheduled ice time and grouping
Tryout fee will be $100.00 for 4 on ice sessions
Registration for tryouts will be online and will open June 1st
Tryout Procedure
All registered Peewee players will be placed on scrimmage teams. These placements will be completely random and previous year’s team placements will have no bearing.
All players will be evaluated by members of the coaching staffs of CAC teams
(Peewee, Bantam and Midget Coaches) using CAC evaluation forms.
Upon completion of the evaluation scrimmages, a list will be created of the top 40 forwards, 30 Defensemen and 10 Goalies.
From this list Coaching staff of the 3 Peewee AA teams will gather to draft their teams.
Selection order will be decided by a draw of straws.
Head coaches (if a parent) will be allowed to choose their own child if the child ranks within the top 40 forwards, 30 Defensemen and 10 Goalies as their first pick.
Only 1 (one) assistant coach (if a parent) will be allowed to select their child for the teams second pick if the child ranks within the top 40 forwards, 30 Defensemen and 10 Goalies as their first pick.
All other player selections will be done in draft order.
The player selection process will be closely monitored by the CAC Hockey Administration Committee.
