Midget AAA Selects
The Eastman Selects invite you to join them for an exciting year of high caliber hockey. Since 1986 the Eastman Selects have been offering players in our region the opportunity to play and develop their game at an elite level. Over that time period the Selects have achieved numerous team successes as well as producing a number of alumni annually who have gone on to play junior hockey, college hockey and in some cases professional hockey. This season Eastman will have teams playing in the Provincial AAA Midget and AAA City Midget leagues, which offer you the chance to develop your game in an individual and team setting, while giving you the opportunity to show your talents to scouts from the WHL and Junior A Leagues as well as US College recruiters.
The Eastman Selects AAA Midget Provincial Team will be playing out of Beausejour for the 2013-2014 season and are comprised of Midget aged players (15-17 years old). Calvin Bugyik will be the head coach for the first time after ten years of involvement with Selects programs. The team will practice on Tuesdays and Thursdays with games scheduled throughout the winter in the Manitoba AAA Midget League (MMHL). There will be dryland and video sessions scheduled throughout the season.
The Eastman Selects AAA City Midget Team will be playing out of Ste. Anne arena and are comprised of first and second year Midget aged players (15-16 years old). They will play out of the Winnipeg City Midget AAA League. They also practice twice a week, while playing the majority of their games on the weekends. The bulk of the travel for this team will be in and around Winnipeg. Chris Mackinnon will be leading the City Midget Selects for the first time after being involved with AA and AAA hockey for a number of years.
There are many qualities that make up a successful AAA player and a successful AAA Midget team. Over the course of the tryout process players who demonstrate the skill set necessary combined with a good work ethic, a good attitude and team first mentality will be the players most likely to succeed.
