Welcome to Tryouts!
Welcome to the Chatham-Kent Cyclones U16 AAA tryouts!

Players/Parents,

My name is Nathan Puchnatyj, head coach of this season's 2021-22 U16 Cyclones!  For those that don’t know me, I’ve been coaching hockey for over 8 years and am looking forward to the season ahead!


Below you’ll find some details about the tryouts and the team.  For all interested, thank you in advance for taking the time and I wish you the best of luck.

Tryout Process

The tryout schedule is available through the main website header, and game and practices times have been updated to the team calendar.  Please be sure to register with the link found within the organizations tryout page:

2021-22 Tryout Schedule (Chatham-Kent Cyclones AAA Hockey Association) (chathamkentcyclones.ca)

During the first and second tryouts, I will be evaluating potential players for core hockey skills.  Tryout drills will test each player’s abilities in the areas of skating, puck control, passing, shooting, physical play, hockey IQ and presence on the ice.

Goals and Expectations
As a coaching staff, our main goal will be to help the boys enjoy another season of hockey, and to teach and develop skills for all players, especially:
-      the concept of a team, team play and the importance of working as a team
-      the value of working hard, and that hard work leads to success
-      developing a competitive spirit, but also that success does not necessarily mean always winning
-      fostering the building of friendships that reaches beyond the arena
-      developing good sportsmanship

-      most importantly – ensure the players continue to enjoy the game.

If you become part of the U16 Cyclones, hockey fees for the season will be approximately $3,000 per player, but will monitor the ever changing COVID situation.

Following the team selection, I will be approaching parents regarding various support positions etc. 

Thank you for participating and good luck!

Coach Nate
