Goalie Tryout Information

  • MEGA Goaltending will be the sole evaluator throughout tryouts
  • Goalie Skills Day (run by MEGA) will be held on Sunday, September 21st, for all traveling-level goalies (except Jr Gold).
    • Note: 15U, 10U, and squirt goalies will complete the skill portion of tryouts in September then pause to complete the remaining days with the remainder of those levels. 
    • Skills will consist of 4 stations, each with a dedicated evaluator. Goalies rotate to each station, thus being evaluated by multiple evaluators. See below for the specific drills being evaluated. 
    • Goalies will not be evaluated during the player skills day
    • Skill day groups are as follows:
      • Goalie Skills Group 1: 10U, 12U, 15U, Bantam Goalies. Sunday, September 21, 2025 3:15 PM 
      • Goalie Skills Group 2: Squirt & PeeWee Goalies. Sunday, September 21, 2025 4:30 PM 
  • After team placement is complete for all levels, RAHA will provide the written evaluation portion from tryouts. This is intended to foster a development feedback loop from the tryout process (no numeric scores will be provided).
