Get ready! WGHA 2026-27 Rep tryouts are coming soon. Tryouts will begin in mid-April.
Read on to make sure you're ready -- and watch our website and social media for more details.
Reminders:
- We’re excited to see existing and new players to the tryouts!
- A Permission To Tryout (PTT) form is required and must be presented at the tryout registration desk if you are not currently playing with the Whitby Girls Hockey Association.
- PTTs are requested from your current organization. Ensure you leave enough time for the request to be processed and returned to you.
- The Tryout Passport will be available for purchase soon. It will be applicable to all tryouts in the related age category.
- All interested players are encouraged to speak with the 2026-27 coaches to discuss options and opportunities.
Some of the benefits of playing in Whitby:
- Dedicated professional player and goalie development (plus any additional team-funded development)
- Robust and routine call-up process
- Experienced, passionate team-focused coaches selected by an independent review committee and approved by the Board
- Multiple local ice rinks with ample parking – IPSC, McKinney and coming soon the new Fieldgate Sports complex at Brock & 407
Non-residency position: Founded on flexibility and fairness
As non-resident quotas in neighbouring centers continue to evolve and change, the WGHA remains committed to finding a fair and thoughtful balance within our association.
Our goal is to:
- Provide favourable opportunity for Whitby residents
- Support player development
- Maintain strong competition across all teams
- Ensure appropriate division placements
- Recognize that families consider these factors when choosing where to play
Because late changes can create uncertainty, the WGHA Board aims to be:
- Proactive
- Transparent
- Responsive to evolving circumstances
The Board may adjust non‑resident quotas by majority vote when needed to best support our teams and our association over the short and long-term. In some instances, this is on a team-by-team basis.
Our focus remains on flexibility, fairness, and creating the best possible experience for all players, while adapting to the changing dynamics of minor hockey.
