Tryouts
The top players in each tryout will be selected from each Region regardless of how many players come from the same Tier II team.
The tryout will be open to any interested Tier II player who plays for a WAHA association team. Boys and girls are welcome to tryout.
The tryouts will be held at a central location within each region and be concluded in one night unless a Region has more than one tryout date. Check the Kohlman Cup website for tryout dates, times and locations.
If more than 60 players sign up in any one a Region then an additional tryout date may be added in that Region.
If more than 10 goaltenders sign up for tryouts in any Region at a single birth year, then an additional tryout date will be added.
There will be a separate tryout at each birth year.
The players will play in the same classification that they played in during the 2024-2025 season. If a skater played in his/her local club as a first year Pee Wee then they would tryout at a 2013 Pee Wee Minor. If a skater "played up" in age classification during the season they would not be eligible to play in the Kohlman Cup until their birth year is eligible.
Area coaches will assist with tryouts and selection.
Players will be evenly divided into light and dark tryout pinnies or jerseys. The number on the tryout jersey is the only identification evaluators will have for skaters.
Regional teams will consist of 9 forwards, 6 defensemen, and 2 goalies.
You must be currently skating for a WAHA association.
