U11 2026 Evaluation Information

The 2026 U11 evaluations will kick off with our goalie skills (Female & Coed) on August 28, 2026, then proceed with the female only evaluations on August 30, 2026 to September 4, 2026. Lastly the coed evaluations will begin on September 5, 2026, and will end on September 12, 2026.

SGMHA will be using Sports Evaluations to complete the upcoming evaluations. Each player will be assigned their unique code, and you will receive this via email from Sports Evaluations. When parent’s login they will see next skate times and a map to the facility. There will be an option to receive player insights for an extra charge. The data that will be viewed is individual data only, not sum data.

The first skate will be created based on alphabetical order to separate into the skills skates. From there, the scores will be utilized to generate the appropriate skates. Sports Evaluations have added a lot of information to their website such as evaluation criteria, evaluation scale, evaluation tips, drills, forms, FAQ's and some great information for the parents. The evaluators will be using their phones or iPads for electronic data capture. Please do not panic if evaluators are on their devices, they will be using sliders/toggles (no typing) to evaluate each player.

Parents/guardians are not permitted to speak to any evaluator, please bring your concerns up to the division director immediately and it will be sorted out.
