Will there be an in-person tryout?

Only applicants interested in the Ice Crew will participate in an in-person skating tryout. All applicants will participate in an individual interview.

Do returning Rally Runners need to apply and try out again?

Yes. Returning members must reapply each season. A spot on the team is not guaranteed, and all applicants are evaluated for the upcoming season.

Do I need to bring my own skates to the Ice Crew tryout?

Yes. Applicants must bring their own skates. Rentals will not be provided. Hockey and figure skates are acceptable.
