Everything you need to know
Who is eligible to tryout?
- Any player currently rostered on only an SCHL team is eligible to tryout. It doesn't matter if you are on an A, B, or C team, we want to see you at tryouts! Dual rostered players that play on other AAA/AA teams are ineligible.
If I make an SCHL Selects team do I stop playing for my full-season team?
- No! The SCHL Selects season will be supplemental to your full-season SCHL team. You will play on both teams, and if a conflict arises where your SCHL team has a game at the same time as a Selects game, you will have to play in your regular season SCHL game.
How many games do the Select teams play and will there be practices?
- Each Selects team will play a minimum of 10 games - in tournaments or against AA teams across New England. Practices are not mandatory but can be scheduled on a per team basis.
How much does it cost?
- The tryout fee is $40. If you are selected for the team, the tuition will be $300. Tuition will cover tournament fees, and ice costs. If a team has two goalies, each will pay half tuition. Uniforms are an additional fee (~$70) and the players can keep at the end of the season. If you already have an SCHL Selects jersey, you do not need to buy a new one.
- Players that are selected to join the team as alternates do not have to pay tuition, but they will need to buy a uniform.

How will tryouts work?
- The players be ran through a series of skill drills. They will then be divided into two teams and will scrimmage for the remainder of the session. SCHL has hired a small group of independent evaluators made up of former professional and college players to decide which players will make the team.
- After the first tryout, SCHL will release a list of players that have been invited to the Call Back tryout. This smaller pool of players will be split into two teams for a scrimmage. The final team will be decided from the Call Back tryout.
How many players will make the team?
- Each team will consist of 17 players - 9 forwards, 6 defenseman, 2 goalies.
- Each team will have 6 alternates - 3 forwards, 2 defenseman, 1 goalie.
