UPDATE: We got clarification from OWHA and Hockey Canada re whether we can do Novice Tryouts this Spring or not......their decision is based on the fact that since most organizations had already made plans to run these tryouts for the Spring 2019 that Hockey Canada and OWHA would allow the Novice tryouts from this spring only.
The Bearcats will therefore be running two tryouts for our Novice age group...
