Major Midget tryouts set for NDCC Arena
By The Nelson Daily Sports
Head coach Mario DiBella is going have his eyes glued to the NDCC Arena ice as more than 50 players are expected for the Kootenay Ice Major Midget Evaluation Camp.
Team officials and BC Hockey High Performance evaluators will evaluate players at the three-day camp.
Final selections of the 20 players, including two goaltenders, which make up each Major Midget team will be made by September 15.
Evaluation camps are run every year in order to evaluate players and help select the following year’s teams.
Camp registration is designated as “open” registration, meaning that the number of players who can attend each camp is unlimited.
The BC Hockey Major Midget League was established in 2004 to provide elite level 15, 16 and 17 year olds an opportunity to play within their own age group at a high level and be developed for the next level of hockey. These teams have an opportunity each year to compete for the National Midget Championship.
Also this weekend at the NDCC Arena, the Kootenay Wildcat Tryouts are scheduled for Saturday, 6:30-8:30 p.m. and Sunday, 7:30-8:45 a.m. and Noon to 1:30 p.m.
