Try Outs

Question
Hi, I'm just wondering. Where do they do the try outs for the national Hockey League or for they're minors... Beacause I wanna see if i have the skills to make it in the NHL. and I really really wanna know where do they do the try outs....

Answer
For the pros or their farm teams (AHL/ECHL) - it is usually by invitation.   Now the farm teams for these clubs may have open tryouts.  You can email any of the team's managers and they can give you more information on open tryouts and such.

Here are a few website addresses you can try as well:

SPHL (http://www.thesphl.com/), UHL (http://www.theuhl.com/) and CHL (http://www.centralhockeyleague.com/)to name three, or if you want to go to Europe - you can check out the Elite League (http://www.eliteleague.co.uk/) -- if you really want to aim higher you can try ECHL or AHL as well.  They usually have their open tryouts a little later in the year.

Hope this helps!

GOOD LUCK!
