Dear Upper York Admirals Residents,
Welcome parents, guardians, and players.
Thank you for taking part in our 2023/24 “U16BB” Evaluation.
My name is Bob Lilly, and I will be the Head Coach for this season.
I would also like to introduce Darryl Nelson & his assistants whom will take the lead on running the drills for the first 2 evaluations.
Matt Kostiw & Nathan Lilly will be working alongside the goaltenders.
The 3rd skate will be an inter quad game between the selected players.
Chris Bozanin will be our "Trainer at Large" in the event of an unexpected injury.
For the first two evaluations , goaltenders will be training with Matt & Nathan while the skaters participate in drills using 3/4's of ice, goalies will then slide into the remaining drills for full ice activity.
PLEASE kindly reinforce with your child that they perform at their best when feeling relaxed and confident.
It is also important for parents to help manage their child’s expectations during this process, a roster position on this team should never be assumed.
Let’s all make these evaluations an enjoyable one.
I wish all candidates the best of luck and I look forward to seeing you at the rink.
Coach Bob
