Tryout Overview
Tryouts for all teams …especially 8U-10U-12U happen earlier than ever. They begin March 3 for 8U-10U-12U and March 31 for 14u-16U-18U.
We expect a full slate of teams from 8U (2018 and 2019 birth years) through 16U (2010 and 2011 birth years). We are not fielding an 18U team for 2026-27. We will have Major and Minor teams at each of the other USA Hockey playing levels.
Major teams will normally roster the older, more experienced players, while Minor teams are typically composed of the younger, somewhat less experienced players. We expect to field just one 18U team that will compete at the Tier II level, Teams will be slotted to play at levels appropriate for their ability in the leagues they participate.
Coaches may elect to select players at any time during the tryout process. Players MUST then commit to the team by completing and signing the NY State Player Commitment Form. Players must also accept their place via the EDGE organization form . All rules regarding player movement will be followed, including those of the LIAHL. Click here for player movement rules. EDGE returning players requesting releases must fill out the required forms and send them to the rink 10 days in advance of the date they are needed.

Tryout - Registration
We want players eager to learn and willing to work hard to achieve success
8U (Mite)
2017-18 birth years
Mite Hockey offers a great opportunity for players to focus on skill development while playing with other enthusiastic players.
8U Mite Black Team – Our core group of 2018 birth-year players returns to the Edge to continue their hockey development. We have room for motivated players on the team. The team will play another season of ”cross-ice” through December, then full ice games per NYSAHA protocols. This will be our MAJOR team. We plan to roster 12-14 players on the team, including 2 goalies. Positions are open for new players
Mite White Team – Our second 8U team (Mite White) will be filled primarily with new travel players born in 2019 or 2018. 10-12 players will be selected to play on this team, including 1-2 goalies. As a new team, virtually all positions are available. We recommend that 2020 birth year players play in the house league before considering travel team participation.
10U Hockey continues with emphasis on team play and skill development. After playing “cross-ice” in Mite travel programs, players will play on full ice with all hockey rules in place, including off-side and icing. Penalties will be enforced, scores kept and teams will change on the fly. The EDGE has a policy of being fair to all players, sharing the opportunities and the responsibilities of being a member of a team among all players.. Although competition is important, development of players skills and team values is more important to us.
10U Major – 2016 We will have several openings for players looking to join the team. 2017 players with exceptional skills or experience may also be considered, although our preference is to keep each birth hyear separate . This is a Tier II level team.
10U Minor – 2017 It’s time to get on the ice for real games with nornal hockey rules !. We have a solid group of returning players but still are looking for enthusiastic, dedicated skaters to add to the team.
10U (Squirt)
2017-2016 birth years
12U (Peewee)
2014-13 birth year4
12U Major – 2014-15 – This is a Tier II NYS Tournament Bound team. We have multiple openings for players and will also be looking for an experienced goalie.

12U Minor – 2014-15 We have a core of returning players, but still have spots are available for new players. Older players who may have started “late” and have less experience may be good candidates to play on the Minor team.

We want players with a high level of commitment as ready tp prepare for full checking at the 14U level. Players born in 2012 who are still raising their game will be considered for the team as well
16U II Major – 2011-10 This is a State Tournament bound team with a history of high level play and success. We will be looking for skilled players to help the team qualify for the NY State Championships. Tghis is likely to be an all 2010 team, although skilled 11’s may be taken as well
16U III Minor – 2011-10 – We are looking to add to our core group of returning players. Opportunities exist for players willing to work hard developing skills and their understanding of the game. We want to be ready to compete for States in 2027-28
