Ancaster Girls Bantam A 2016-17 Fun, Competitive Hockey on a School and Family Friendly Team
Dear Players (and Parents),
I would like to welcome and thank-you for your interest in the 2016-17 Ancaster Girls
Bantam A tryouts. I encourage you to embrace the challenge of tryouts and show us your
best. It is an opportunity to learn and most importantly, have fun. Nothing impresses this

• Agility (goalies will be expected to participate in agility based skating drills)
• Professional style pattern work (think Patrick Roy warmup)
• Angles
• Puck handling, passing and shooting
• Communication (Goalie communications is paramount particularly in helping on defensemen make
correct decisions on dump-ins)
Team Systems
Hockey becomes a much simpler game when team systems are understood and used by everyone on the
team. Based on a strong foundation of individual skill and tactics, team systems allow the team as a whole to
perform at its best. Early in the season, we will be using basic systems which will allow us to concentrate on
our effort on the underlying tactics necessary to play more advanced and aggressive systems. We will
introduce more advanced approaches as the season progresses.
• Communications
• Defensive coverage
• Defensive zone (5 card)
• Offensive zone (pressure, channeling, pinching, prevent)
• Speed zone (Neutral zone)
• Fast transitions to offense (counter attacks)
• Line changes (pro-style, dump-in tactics, maintaining puck control)
• Faceoffs
• Power play
• Penalty kill

... for PARENTS
I will not force my child to participate in hockey.
I will remember that my child plays hockey for his or her enjoyment, not mine.
I will encourage my child to play by the rules and to resolve conflicts without resorting to
hostility or violence.
I will teach my child that doing one’s best is as important as winning, so that my child will
never feel defeated by the outcome of a game / event.
I will make my child feel like a winner every time by offering praise for competing fairly
and trying hard.
I will never ridicule or yell at my child for making a mistake or losing a competition.
I will remember that children learn best by example. I will applaud good plays /
performances by both my child’s team and their opponents.
I will never question the official’s judgement or honesty in public.
I will support all efforts to remove verbal and physical abuse from children’s hockey
activities.
I will respect and show appreciation for the volunteer coaches who give their time to
provide hockey experiences for my child.
