Skating Not all great skaters make great hockey players, but it is one of the main skills evaluators look for. If you're able to skate well, including forwards, backwards, stopping, starting, and turning etc, the rest of the game should come easier to you. The best skaters usually win the all important races to loose pucks and can maneuver in and out of tight situations.
If you have the time to work on and improve in just one area of the game before tryouts skating would top the list. Fundamentals Hockey consists of several other fundamentals such as giving and receiving passes, puck control, stickhandling and checking. These areas should also be practised as often as possible until you can master them all while skating at top speed. You can't just rely on your skill without putting in any effort.
You may have made the team last year and enjoyed a fine season, but you can't rest on your laurels. Whatever you achieved the previous season won't guarantee a spot on the squad this year. You need to prove your worth each time you take the ice. There may be several newcomers trying out this year and they'll be giving it their all to make the team which is why you can't just show up and go through the motions. Be sure to treat the other players in the tryout with respect and help them as much as possible.
It's also important to listen closely to instructions to show the evaluators that you're eager to learn and are coachable. Play Both Ends Everybody likes to score goals, but don't forget a hockey rink consists of of three different zones. It's important to show you're capable of and eager to take care of your own end and the neutral zone as much as you are the offensive zone. All areas of the ice are important so don't slack off when it comes to your defensive responsibilities. If you play your position well you'll have a good chance of making the right choice when you have the puck and will provide your teammates a passing outlet.
The roster can only be so big, and eventually every player at every level is going to find himself or herself on the bubble. Show up early. Have your gear in order — and that means everything from remembering your mouth guard to having your skates sharpened. Keep your focus on the coaches, not on amusing your potential future teammates. Good skaters get to the puck first and tend to arrive earlier to and occupy more frequently the best positions on the ice.
The other fundamentals — handling the puck, shooting, sending and receiving passes — will all be evaluated. But good skaters get noticed. Nothing is guaranteed.
