YG Spring 2008 - Blakley/Dean (Young Guns Hockey)

Due to the cancellation of spring tryouts, we will be looking at holding Pre-Tryout sessions at a later date in summer.  Once schedules and dates have been released for Tryouts of different associations, we will look at booking some dates for some development sessions.   Check in at later dates for updates as information becomes available.   Stay Safe and Healthy! In the meantime, while you cannot get on the ice there are still many exercises and at home drills we can work on to continually keep our skills and bodies sharp!

NOTE: PRE-TRYOUT SESSIONS HAVE BEEN CANCELLED.  Keeping the health of safety of participants and hockey families as the foremost priority, YOUNG GUNS has decided to cancel all pre-tryout sessions.  Refunds/Credits will be issued in the near future.  Please see article from OHF about tryouts: OHF AND MEMBER PARTNERS STATEMENT ON SPRING TRYOUTS
