1 Atom Evaluation Process 2013 Prepared by: MDHA Executive Sept 5th, 2013

2 Introduction In preparation for the Metcalfe & District Hockey Association (MDHA) hockey season, the Evaluation Process will be held during the month of September. Each year, hockey teams are made up of a variety of very skilled to lesser skilled players, all with different personalities and learning abilities, this season will be no different. Goal of the Evaluation Process To establish a proper evaluation process that will effectively measure skills to allow appropriate player placement for the hockey season. A separate document is available for goalie evaluations. Objectives of the Evaluation Process To select appropriately skilled players for each house league level and division. To do so the MDHA uses a modification of the Hockey Canada Minor Hockey Development Guide. To create teams as per the Gloucester Hockey Association (GHA) Rules and Regulations. To create equally skilled teams within an MDHA level. To raise awareness of the importance of skill development within the MDHA. To properly evaluate not only a player s technical skills but other personal qualities including teamwork, overall hard work at both ends of the ice, leadership, hockey intelligence / sense, assertiveness and positive attitude. To ensure that goaltenders have a proper evaluation as they are very important to the success of each team. Evaluation System This year the MDHA will use a Point Scoring System outlined herein. Each tryout session will be organized by setting a time limit for each activity. Strict timelines will be kept in order to complete all the required drills in the allocated time. The process will start with a skills evaluation consisting of a number of specific on-ice drills to show a player s abilities for various elements outlined herein.

3 Once the assessment of skills is completed, scrimmages will take place in order to sort out A/B and B/C bubbles. This will allow the MDHA to rank this year s group of players and determine the teams at each level. Independent knowledgeable hockey evaluators will be used at each session to give an unbiased opinion and feedback on every player s performance. Each evaluator will review particular elements for all the players. Scale of Player Ability It will be the bubble players that will require the most critical detailed assessment throughout the evaluations, as their skill level is so close to one another. There are always true A, B and C players, however it is the A/B and B/C players that require the most observation and attention during the evaluation process. For this reason the session 3 scrimmages will focus on these players, not all players will be invited to participate in the scrimmages. The Advanced Player - Top of the Scale - A A/B Bubble B B/C Bubble The True Beginner Bottom of the Scale C C Player Selection and Division Process 3 sessions will be allocated in the evaluation process. Groups for the Session 3 scrimmage will be created based on the cumulative score from the MDHA Atom Skills Evaluation Process. The convener will

4 create two balanced teams consisting of A/B bubble players and another two balanced teams consisting of the B/C bubble players. The Session 3 scrimmages will be observed by independent evaluators with the intent of selecting the top x (number will be determined by convener based on the scores from Session 1 and 2 and the team construct required by the GHA) players from the A/B bubble and the top x players from the B/C bubble. The number of players will vary from year to year based on the skill of the players and on the size of the teams as dictated by the GHA construct. The player s score for Session 1 and 2 and their placement selected in session 3 will be used to create the teams. Role of the Evaluators Evaluators are people with hockey knowledge that preferably have coaching experience, and no child or relative in the respective program being evaluated. The MDHA uses a double-blind system (player names do not appear on the evaluator s sheets). Evaluators may not share scores. They must be able to independently evaluate all the players. Evaluators must write using ink and initial any changes on their score sheets. Evaluators must return the completed sheets to the MDHA immediately after the session so that players can be assigned to appropriate groups for the next session. At the session Skaters should arrive 45 minutes prior to the start of their assigned time. Register at the MDHA table where you will be given a jersey and assigned a dressing room. Get dressed, except for your helmet, gloves and mouthguard. 15 minutes prior to the start of your Slot, players are to finish dressing and all players will be moved to one dressing room. The lead instructor will come and talk to the players and review the On-Ice process of the day. Players are to grab their sticks and water bottles and make their way to the ice. Follow the Instructors for the warm-up (note that evaluators will be watching at this point). The 50 minute running-clock Evaluation will take place. The lead instructor may choose to adjust the time period as he sees fit. When the session is complete the players are to grab their water bottles and return to their dressing room.

5 Please remove your Jerseys ASAP someone will be there to collect them. Finish getting undressed and clear the dressing room. Skills Evaluation Process Please note that it is important to try to stay in order (by Jersey Color and number) so that the evaluators can quickly and easily record their scores, ensuring each player is evaluated more accurately. Each drill will be done 2 or 3 time, more if there is a direction change or attacker/defender requirement. For new players who have difficulty completing a drill, the number of repetitions may be reduced by the instructors. A series of drills have been designed to measure the skill level of each player being evaluated for the Atom Division. Each player will be assessed while conducting the following drills. The drills will take place in two separate sessions (Session 1 and Session 2), each session has 4 time slots (Slot A, Slot B, Slot C, Slot D) (participants only attend 1 slot per session) and each drill is labeled as a station (Station 1, Station 2, etc...). Some stations are partial ice others are full ice. At each station, Evaluators will be looking at various elements and scoring each participant for that particular element. A cumulative score will be calculated so that each element will make up the player s final score.

6 Session 1 Station 1 Puck Control and Shooting Description Partial Ice Skaters navigate a pylon course, carry the puck in open ice and shoot at the net from a set distance. The net will be fitted with an obstacle at the ice level to encourage players to try to raise the puck. Duration 10 Min / Group Elements Evaluated Puck Control o Can the player handle the puck in tight spaces? o Can the player execute an open ice carry and transition to shooting position? Shooting (Evaluator will be observing Station 1 and 2) o Can the player lift the puck (Wrist Shot)? o Velocity o Accuracy o Shot Selection do they select the best shot for the opportunity?

7 Session 1 Station 2 Skating & Pivots Description Partial Ice Participants skate along a predetermined course incorporating pivots and backward skating with a stationary coach sending a pass to be picked-up by the skater prior to shooting at the net from a set distance. We intend to have a goaltender in the net, with the evaluator from Station 1 observing the shot. Duration 10 Min / Group Elements Evaluated Pivots o Can the player pivot front to back, both ways? o Can the player pivot back to front, both ways? o Does the player pivot in the most efficient direction to get to the play/puck?

One sub-group is offense, the other defense, the sub-groups switch at the next segment. 1 player from each sub-group goes at one time. Offensive group tries to go score, defensive group backchecks and tries to get the puck. Duration 10 Min Elements Evaluated Puck Control o Can the player open-carry with speed? o Can the player maintain control while being checked? Forward Stride o Proper position for balance o Efficient stride, full leg extension

10 Session 2 Station 1 Board Pass Description Half Ice Participants skate along the boards, bouncing the puck off the boards around a pylon, passing to a stationary coach and receiving the return pass prior to shooting at the net from a set distance. We intend to have a goaltender in the net. Duration 20 Min / Group

11 Elements Evaluated Forward Pass/Receive o Can the player execute a strong but controlled forward pass? o Can the player cushion the pass to quickly gain possession/control of the puck? o Can the player adjust his speed to receive the pass? o Does the player exhibit good hands to reach or pull back to receive the pass?

14 Session 3 Scrimmage Rules Each Scrimmage will be apprx 45 minutes running time, following a 5 minute warm-up. Scrimmages will be 5 on 5 with one Referee and 1 Linesman Off-sides will be announced then called. Icing will be called. Penalties will be called but the offending player does not go to the penalty box, he simply returns to the bench. If no opportunity for a stoppage has occurred for approximately 1.5 minutes, the referee will stop the play to effect a line change. Players are encouraged to conduct line changes on the fly this will be an evaluation criteria. Bench Staff Three parent volunteers are required from each group; two door operators and a trainer. Players are not to be coached. Players are to remain in order of their Jersey numbers even if they do not come off the ice in that particular order. Bench staff is to assign the players to a position at each shift with the goal of rotating all the players through all the positions (Centre, Wing, Defense) at each session. Evaluation of Scrimmages Evaluators will be evaluating A, B, C players over two separate time slots (A, B). For Session 3, the players will have been sorted based on skill level during Sessions 1 and 2. Although no scores are provided evaluators will be using their own experience and hockey knowledge to access typical player elements such as: Skill skates forward / backward quickly, turns sharply both ways and has good balance and agility;

15 can perform a proper two-foot stop and transition from forward to backward skating with ease; has a quick transition game going from offence to defense and vice versa; passes the puck accurately using a variety of passes to open receivers; shoots hard and accurately by hitting the net; Assertiveness will go to the net looking for rebounds or to screen the goalie; will play in traffic to assist or score a goal; will get involved in the play and does not play on the outside perimeter of the rink; creates loose pucks and wins the one on one battles for loose pucks; backchecks correctly, by covering the open man preventing odd man rushes; forechecks correctly, by separating the puck carrier from the puck; fights for the puck and wins the 1 on 1 battles to regain possession of the loose puck. Team Play - Attitude plays as a team and not as an individual; passes the puck automatically if a team-mate is open; gives a 100% effort every shift; has fun while trying their best. Element 4 - Hockey Sense understands positional play; supports the puck on the defensive and offensive side of the puck; communicates with teammates; has the ability to read and react; knows when he is tired and executes a line change at the appropriate time. The evaluation team is simply to return a single list of x players to the convener selected by consensus.
