This winter, Scarsdale High School will sponsor two Ice Hockey teams:

Varsity is for the top players, regardless of grade-level.
JV is for freshman, sophomores and juniors to develop their skills and capabilities. (Note: The JV team is dependent upon having enough players to field this team.)

Varsity Coach: Jame Synowiez, jsynowiez@scarsdaleschools.org

Varsity Assistant: John Felix, jfelix@scarsdaleschools.org

JV Head: Dylan Wit, dwit@scarsdaleschools.org
In order to tryout, players must have been cleared through the gold card process.

Please bring your own personal water bottle and fill them up before the workouts. Also, please be prepared with warm-up clothes, including running shoes, for each ice hockey workout.

Players are expected to be present at all tryout sessions. Missing sessions will be incorporated into the coach's evaluation of players for the Varsity team.

Tryouts consist of assessments of individual ice hockey skills. Players will be evaluated on conditioning, stick skills, skating effort and attitude.

The coaching staff also tests the athletes for general athleticism.

Players are also evaluated on their cooperation with other players and their ability to take direction from the coaching staff.
Ice Hockey is a commitment of about 1.5-2 hours per day, 6 days a week with occasional Saturday games and competitions. It is our expectation that athletes will be present for all team tryouts, scrimmages, practices, games, and tournaments.

The regular season ends in March for both teams.
