A Try Outs / HOKS:

Please note to participate in the 'A' Try Outs, your player must be registered in their division package, and paid their try out fee as well. The fee to try out is $50.00.

Players who are looking for the highest skill level and most competitive environment may attend evaluations for the HOKS A team which combines players from the ORLA, High River, northeast Calgary Knights and possibly the Strathmore area to create a team to compete at the highest skill level against the larger clubs in Calgary. The HOKS team may have practices outside of the Okotoks area to accommodate teams from these other locations and may also play a regular season game as far north as Red Deer as the Red Deer A team plays with the CDLA at this age level.
