12U Rosters are Posted

We are excited to announce that all 12U teams and head coaches have been finalized and are posted here. Thank you for the dedication and effort shown by all players during the evaluation process. 

As outlined in the Saints Evaluation and Team Selection Policy, the evaluation team was comprised of professional evaluators whose scores were used to make fair and informed team selection decisions. A key goal of the Saints is to place players where they fit best in terms of skill development and ability to compete. To that point, the Saints are fielding four teams at 10U: A, B1, and two B2 teams.

Playing and competing well makes hockey enjoyable. Being consistently overmatched at a level of play higher than the player’s ability is a strong detriment to player development. By being placed where they best fit, players will have more opportunities for success, which will bolster confidence in their hockey skills and ability and will translate into a key ingredient for becoming a good hockey player, a strong desire for the game. We understand that not everyone may have made the team they hoped for, and we empathize with those players

Our focus will soon shift to developing these young hockey players. Please note that practices will begin this week. Your player's schedule is now in your Crossbar Family Calendar. 

If you have any questions or suggestions regarding the selection process, please reach out to our Girls hockey leads, Kevin Dolan (girlsvp@stpaulcapitalshockey.com) or Ben Young (benharrisonyoung@gmail.com). We kindly ask that you observe the 24-hour rule before contacting us if you feel emotionally charged; this allows for reflection and leads to more constructive discussions.

We look forward to an exciting hockey season and can’t wait to see everyone at the rink.

Thank you,

The Saints Co-op Committee
