Internal Tryouts:
Internal tryouts are exclusively for players who were part of the GGHA during the 2025–2026 season and who have registered and paid for the 2026–2027 tryouts.
Note: If you are not planning on trying out for the GGHA, please do not sign up for the internal skates - these sessions are only for players that are on rosters AND will be attending the open tryouts.
These sessions provide coaches with an early opportunity to see players within their new age groups, assess team dynamics, and identify strengths and areas for development before incorporating import players.
If you reside in Guelph but played for another centre last season, you will need to wait until open tryouts begin on April 14.
