Tryout Policy

Our objective in constituting teams is to act in the best interests of the children and the Milton Youth Hockey (MYH) Program. Team composition is an inherently imprecise and subjective exercise. It is the responsibility of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of MYH to make the process as fair and transparent as possible, while protecting the confidentiality of individual players’ evaluative scores and coaches’ selections. These Policies and Procedures were developed by the Evaluation Committee of MYH to : 

1. Achieve the most accurate player placement
2. Provide players and parents of MYH transparency in the process
3. Provide guidance to evaluators in order to create a more consistent process
4. Provide a known set of standards upon which players are measured to assure the highest possible degree of fairness and objectivity in the process
5. Provide an opportunity for all children to play at the appropriate level
