SPRING SELECTS 2024

Maximize your potential

Spring Selects

Tryout Schedule

The Sound Shore Program

Our highly successful program is looking to continue to provide exposure for the area’s top players. The Sound Shore program draws players from a large talent pool, and strives to develop that talent, allowing each individual player to maximize their potential. Every member of the program will be challenged throughout the spring to develop their individual skills, while also learning valuable team concepts.

Tryout Schedule

2 Competitive Tournaments

Past Tournaments have included:

  • Philly Shootout
  • Shelton Shootout
  • Doritos Spring Challenge
  • Aston Memorial Day Weekend Tournament

Minny League

With over 20 years of experience running spring programs, we are excited to implement a new structure to our Soundshore Selects program, based off the Minnesota hockey model. Soundshore has always been about development first and maximizing quality touches every time a player is at the rink. Tournament games can be one of the “unknowns” where unpredictable opponents and lopsided games can affect the quality of time at the rink for both the players, and parents. This spring we will be introducing a new Soundshore “Minny League” within the structure of our program. Our players will have the opportunity to compete against each other in a real game atmosphere, guaranteeing a quality game and opponent each time, without the travel.

Understanding that the travel tournaments are part of the spring experience for families, we will still be participating in 2 weekend tournaments for each birth year team. However, each player will get an additional 5 games within our Soundshore “Minny League”, competing for the first annual (Soundshore Cup). We are excited to introduce this format and continue to find the best ways for the development of all our spring participants.

Enjoy the Experience

In the past twenty years the program has experienced tremendous success. We have won tournaments at every age level, as well been able to showcase individual talent that has opened up opportunities for players in their fall/winter seasons.

15 Total Practices

5 practices will focus on team oriented concepts (systems, positional play, and in-game situations)

5 individual skill development practices under the direction of Erik Nates Euro Hockey.

5 small area games/controlled scrimmage practices to breakdown game concepts and game situations.

AND MORE…

Game jerseys, practice jerseys, and socks will all
be provided.

Alternates

In addition to the players selected for each team, alternates will be carried on each roster to participate in practice.

The alternates will have an opportunity to continue their development in each practice, while working to push the players on the tournament roster. Alternates may have an opportunity to be taken to a tournament during the spring.

Coaching Staff

The program will be under the direction of Erik Nates, Tim Turnbull, Rob Molinaro and Mike Cambria

Other members of the coaching staff will be comprised of individuals who have played at the Division 1 or Division 3 collegiate level, as well as some of the area’s top youth hockey coaches. All members of the staff have tremendous backgrounds in the game of hockey, both playing and teaching.
