Our curriculum stresses basic skills, encourages team play and sportsmanship, and strives for fair playing time for all players.
The individuals who teach this curriculum, in all cases, have completed one or more courses in the USA Hockey Coaches’ Education Program (CEP).
EVHA’s coaches and Board of Directors, through such things as our Code of Conduct, also are committed to teaching players to respect their opponents and the officials.

A minimum of 1 weeknight time, but typically 3-4 weeknights

Coordination of tryouts and clinics
Reviewing and recommending coaches
Coach development
Mite practice development
Squirt C and Peewee B2/C coordination
Summer training programs

14. Player Development eastviewhockey.net/playerdevelopment
American Development Model
Age appropriate training
ABCs – Agility, Balance, Coordination, Stability
Game consists of many small 1-on-1 “battles”
30 seconds of puck possession in 60 min game
Half-ice – purchased boards with sponsorship
Small Area Games – creativity, problem solving

15. Fair Play Policy eastviewhockey.net/handbook
Changes & Clarifications
Squirts/ 10U and Peewees/12U players’ positions should be rotated with equal playing time
Squirt C and 10U B goalies encouraged to skate out
Goalies should be given equal playing time over the course of the regular season. Squirt, 10U, Peewee and 12U should rotate goalies every other game.
Bantams and 14/15U do not have a requirement to rotate player positions and may have specialty lines but all players should get opportunities to play on special team positions throughout the regular season
For any team playing in playoffs, the Coach may utilize special power play lines, penalty kill lines, and may manipulate playing time to put their team in the best position to win, but, the Coach should utilize all players in the game.  On teams with more than one Goalie, the Coach may manipulate the Goalie rotation to give the team the best chance to win. 
Teams can restrict playing time due to violation of team rules, attendance, illness, or injury

16. Tryouts: 2018 – 2019 eastviewhockey.net/tryouts
Process based on objectivity and fairness
Goal is to ensure each player is placed at the most appropriate level for their abilities
Closed to parents
Once the tryouts begin, parents will not be allowed in the arena
Board members will also not be allowed in the arena during the time that their child is trying out.
The scrimmages for Peewees and Bantams will be “games” against outside associations and will be closed to parents except Rosemount Scrimmages.
After the 2nd session, a posting will go up to tell you which session your player should attend next.

17. Tryouts: 2018 – 2019 eastviewhockey.net/tryouts
Goalies will not have separate tryout sessions. They will be observed and have some separate tryout drills assessed by goalie evaluators.
Tryouts will consist of hockey related drills to demonstrate skills, and game like situations. The evaluators will be looking at the whole picture – skating skills, game like situations, 1:1, 2:2, etc.
Although coaches have input in picking the final teams, the final decision is made collectively by the PDC and the coaches
We have independent evaluators and members of our Player Development Committee evaluating players and placing players on teams. The coaches from each level will be consulted on the last day of the tryout process. There are no “coaches picks”

18. Tryouts: 2018 – 2019 eastviewhockey.net/tryouts
IMPORTANT
Check the Website for dates
All players will receive a jersey and number for tryouts that must be worn
