d 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!

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
