Midget AA tryouts Commence 4 Sep
Players and parents are asked to check this site reugarly for updates and changes.
All St. Albert players released from AAA Raiders will be added to the Midget AA tryout roster. If a player released from AAA Raiders wishes to tryout with another AAA team, they must get their release and waiver to travel to tryout. Players are referred to the AAA Raiders website for details on how to request permission to travel for additional AAA tryouts.
Once a player is released from AAA Raiders, if he skates at a AA tryout, he relinquishes his right to travel for AAA tryout. If a player wishes to travel for AAA tryout, he MUST NOT skate at a AA tryout.
Releases can be made from St. Albert Midget AA tryouts at any time. If a player is released from St. Albert Midget AA, his name will automatically be sent to the SAMHA Interlock director. If a player is released from AA tryouts, he may request permission to travel to tryout for another Midget AA team.
At the end of the tryout process, a DRAFT will be conducted to select both the Crusaders and Blues teams. This DRAFT may take place before or upon completion of the Pre Season tournament which will run 19-30 Sep.
While it is expected that the rosters for each team will be finalized at the DRAFT, there is the possibility of additional releases after the teams have been DRAFTED. This is due to the possibility of additional player movement from Junior and AAA teams. If Junior teams return players to AAA teams, these AAA teams may release players who may move down to AA teams. While this does not happen often, it can happen and players are advised that releases may occur after teams have been DRAFTED and the regular season has commenced.
Midget AA Tryouts will commence 4 Sep, 2018. The nature of the ice sessions (Practice/Skill Session/Scrimmage) will be determined based on number of players available for each session. The dates of AA Tryout sessions is listed below.

Pre Season Tournament Rosters
The Rosters for the Pre Season tournament are listed below. THESE ROSTERS ARE NOT THE FINAL TEAM ROSTERS. At the completion of the Pre Season Tournament, a DRAFT will be held to select both the Blues and Crusaders teams. Coaches will use this Pre Season Tournament to aid in the selection process leading up to the DRAFT. Players and Parents are to note that releases can occur at any time during the Pre Season Tournament up to and including during the DRAFT. When a player is released, his name will be automatically sent to the SAMHA Midget Director for inclusion into the Interlock DRAFT. Any players that are released who wish to tryout for a AA team outside of St. Albert are to contact the Raiders Midget Director to to obtain their release to tryout elsewhere.
18 and 19 Sep Practices
Players are to report to the practice of the team that they belong to for the Pre Season Tournament. Players are to arrive at arena 45 mins prior to the start of practice.
St Albert Blues will practice on 18 Sep at 1945 at Troy Murray Arena.

Blues and Crusaders DRAFT
At the conclusion of the Pre Season Tournament, all remaining players in the tryout process will enter into a DRAFT. The Blues and Crusaders will each draft 2 goalies and 17 skaters for their team. While it is anticipated that these will be the final Blues and Crusaders teams, there still remains the possibility of further releases due to players returning from Jr Teams, resulting in AAA Raiders players being released and sent to AA. While this is not anticipated, Players and Parents are reminded of this possibility.
