FINAL TRYOUT ANNOUNCEMENTS:
We are sending out a reminder to all interested athletes that Arlington High School Hockey Club is holding tryouts this weekend.
All trying out for the Varsity Squad 8-12th grade attend Friday evening at 8:30 at Trinity Pawling. Players will be invited back by noon the next day for Saturday Invited Call Backs at Trinity Pawling at 6:00 PM. The coaches will determine the team immediately afterwards. Roster positions will be announced that evening at the parking lot of Hannaford on Rt. 22 in Pawling. All players should drive to the far (Southernmost) end of the lot (close to the Autozone) and coaches will call them each to meet individually for their evaluation.
Sunday, 8th - 10th grade and all remaining athletes who will be on JV are invited to the tryout at Trinity Pawling at 7:15 pm.
There are safety protocols for Trinity Pawling Rink that we must adhere to at all times in order to continue to be allowed to practice at their rink. Also, all athletes with a 2002-2003 birth year must complete the Safesport module on the USA Hockey website.
All athletes trying out must read, sign and hand in:
- Trinity Pawling's Safety Protocols
- Trinity Pawling Rink Liability Waiver
- AHC's Covid Waiver
- USA Hockey's Consent to Treat
- USA Hockey's Waiver of Liability
- USA Hockey's Code of Conduct
- Additionally all athletes need to bring their USA Hockey Valid 2020-2021 Member # and a copy of their 2020-2021 School ID.
All of these forms are uploaded in the Documents section of our website and must be turned in before tryouts to the Board Members who will be on hand (Lana Keenan, Lindsey Waters, or Christen Hertzog). We will have a table set up in the parking lot at our trunk to collect the paper work.
As you will see when you read the TP info, all athletes must have a temperature check before entering the building. One of the Board members will be waiting at the doors to do so. In addition there is a Google Form that must be filled out online by each player at least one hour before arriving at the rink EVERY time you have a tryout or practice. You will not be allowed in the rink if you have not completed this form:

The coaching staff has decided to keep the Off Ice Training going for another month of Mondays at East Fishkill Roller Hockey Rink. 6:30 - 7:30.
Practices for both Varsity and JV are scheduled and listed on our website. Friday nights the time varies so please check each week.
We are still awaiting final guidance from NYS and from our League for the schedule of games. As soon as we know we will have a way to determine the cost of the season, it is anticipated to be close to last season, but as always we are at the mercy of the rinks and if they raise their prices the season could be a bit more than last year.
