For comfort, participants are encouraged to stay with friends, family or a hotel - if that is an option. Transportation is not provided between the rink and the facility. Hockey has over 100 athletes coming to town and we cannot provide this service. There are no showers at our facility - participants and chaperones must use showers at the arena or field house. All meals are a personal expense.
TRIALS INFO AND LOGISTICS
If your position is wrong please don't panic - let us know on Thursday when you check in. After the first session the participants will be divided into 3 tiers:
- Prospects will play contact games and will be the group where the AWG team is selected from
- Futures will play shorter non-contact games
- Development stream will be used only if required and will be practices to help athletes master the fundamentals
It is possible to move between groups based on performance. Any information on the tiered groupings will be posted on Hockey NWT's website.
