Selection process for the Beantown Summer Classic
Each tryout will consist of at least three skates. If there are more than 30 players enrolled teams will be formed for the purpose of scrimmage games. If the tryout has less than 30 skaters then skill sessions will be run with half ice scrimmages over the course of the three skates.
Each tryout will be evaluated by at least one current NHL scout. He, or they, will evaluate the players trying out over the course of the three skates. The process they are working thru is as follows:
- Do they think a player has the ability to be a D-1 college player or high end D-3 college player? If not then they won't be a fit for the Beantown Summer tournament.
- Once they make that determination they then form a list and rate the players one thru however many players they think meet that criteria.
- Once the two tryouts are finished the group of scouts will meet and cross reference their lists to come up with one master list which the staff in the Beantown office will work off of.
The highest rated players will get invites and if there is a player that drops out last minute then the office will work off that tryout list inviting the next player on the list.
