Tryout season is here, and whether you’re heading to the rink feeling confident or battling nerves, we’re here to help you approach it with the right mindset. In this episode of The Ride to the Rink, Lee, Mike, and Sherry break down what you can control, what really matters in an evaluation, and how to set yourself up for success—both on and off the ice.

We’ll talk about:

✅ How to manage nerves and set a strong mental outlook

✅ Why most teams already have a roster in mind—and what that means for you

✅ The importance of preparation, from gear checks to pre-tryout routines

✅ What coaches really look for during tryouts

✅ How being a great teammate can make a difference

Plus, we’ve got advice for parents—because your role in this process is just as important! Whether this is your first eval or your tenth, this episode is packed with insights to help you skate onto the ice with confidence.
