The dates for the preparation (a.k.a. rust-off) sessions and tryouts listed below are subject to change. Please check this webpage frequently for the latest news and updates. Players may be divided into groups for some sessions. Please check your SPAM or Junk mail folder frequently during tryouts to avoid missing important notifications.
NOTE: If players are divided into groups, families will receive a communication 24-48 hours prior to each session advising which group and time they are to attend. Players will be advised which colour jersey they will be wearing upon check-in.
Players not registered with East Ottawa Girls Hockey Association cannot attend the rust-off sessions.
To make the rust-off and tryout sessions a success, volunteers are needed as den moms, bench monitors, trainers (qualification required), and time-keepers. If you're able to volunteer for one or more sessions, please sign up here: 2026-27 U9 Tryouts / House Sortouts Volunteer Scheduler.
