Parent/Guardian of a player unable to participate in tryouts must provide a Traveling Director a completed Application for Excused Absence from Tryouts Due to Injury document and a written doctor’s Note explaining why the player cannot participate.
An injured/ill player must be expected to return to 100% of his/her playing capabilities by December 1st, based on doctors’ estimation, to be eligible for a spot on any A or B travel team. This date is based on the Minnesota Hockey roster deadlines. Players who cannot be expected to perform at their full playing potential by December 1st can be placed on a C team for the season, provided there are openings.
An appeal by the parent/guardian of the injured/ill player would allow the Board of Directors to consider the appeal and subsequent team placement. However, a 2/3-majority vote of the Board of Directors will be required for any exceptions.
