CALGARY FIRE AAA/AA TRYOUTS

Great Plains Arena, Norma Bush
U15 AA Try-Outs
September 9-17, 2020
George Blunden, Norma Bush, Father David Bauer, East Calgary Twin Arenas
As per the Female Hockey Alberta Development Model (ADM), there are no established Draw Zones or Recruitment Areas for teams categorized as “AAA." U15 players wishing to try-out for the Calgary Fire must reside within the current boundaries of Hockey Calgary (Zone 9).
Tryouts for the GHC Calgary Fire Elite Female Hockey Program consist of three selection phases:
- Initial Draft
- Secondary Releases
- Final Releases
Each player will receive a minimum of two (2) ice times. If a player is "released" from the Calgary Fire AAA/AA selection process, this does not mean the player is released from GHC.
- If a player is released from the Calgary Fire U18 AAA team and they have requested a second tryout with another U18 AAA team, she may move on to this second tryout.
- If a player has not requested a second try out for another U18 AAA team, she may or may not be “drafted” to further tryout for the GHC U18 AA tryout.
- Once players are released from the U18 AA or U15 AA teams, they move on to the Community Evaluations for their respective age groups.
To tryout for our Calgary Fire AAA/AA Female Hockey Program, please select the registration and try-out package at the time of registration (July 2020). More information can be found on our Registration page.
