Hockey tryouts can be a nerve-racking and stressful experience for some players regardless of whether you are trying out for Pee Wee, high school, juniors or a college team.

One way to minimize the stress is to prepare well in advance of that first day of tryouts. Unpack your bag and check your gear. Make sure your equipment is dry, your skates are sharpened and your stick is taped.
