WHY
PAY MORE FOR LESS?
The
seasonal commitment fees for the Springfield Junior Pics are considerably less
than other
travel hockey clubs and
the Junior Pics offer more. More league games, and more full
ice practices at an affordable price. The 2008-2009 season commitment
fee for the Mites is $1950.00; for Squirts
and up it is $2550.00!
Why go elsewhere and
pay more for less hockey?

TO
ALL TRY-OUT CANDIDATES AND PARENTS
Congratulations on your decision to try-out for a position on one of our 2008
- 2009 Springfield Junior Pics Hockey clubs.
Tryouts are conducted each spring in an effort to select the best possible
players for our teams. It is our belief that in the spring players are in their
top hockey condition and accordingly, will display their highest quality of
skills and individual hockey ability at each try-out session.
Accordingly, all candidates should be prepared to bring their best efforts
to these try-outs. All try-out candidates are observed by our selection committee
and are graded and evaluated on their skills and as to how each player fits
into the game plan for each team.
For the Players and Parents, these tryouts offer a platform for
you to evaluate your child’s development in this sport. Our
philosophy is that each position on each team is open and the best
available players will be offered an invitation to join the teams
if chosen by our selection committee.
TO ALL PLAYERS AND PARENTS
Parents will be notified within one week of the final tryout. If
selected, you will have a meeting with the organization
representatives following notification.
Team registration fee is payable at the team meeting and is non-refundable.
Game/practice jerseys, sweat suit, mock turtles & socks will
be sized at your team meeting.
Good Luck to all Players and Parents
