DSTHL 2019-20 Tryout Dates

DSTHL 2019-2020 TRYOUT DATES

TAHA member organizations are required to conform with TAHA’s established tryout dates and rules that may be found on the TAHA Website. TAHA's established tryout dates are the earliest date TAHA will allow teams to tryout in order to create fair, reasonable and competitive play. TAHA dates are NOT the date that tryouts must be held. Upon further review, the DSTHL determines the earliest dates and times that DSTHL member associations may hold division/team tryouts.

The earliest 2019-20 tryout dates and times for DSTHL teams are listed below. 

• Each DSTHL member association is to always follow the posted DSTHL tryout dates/times.
   
• Under no circumstances should any DSTHL teams have tryouts scheduled or executed prior to these dates and times.
   
• No member Organization may hold pre-tryout events including but not limited to free skates, invite skates, prospect skates, camps, off ice training, etc. on a weekend (Friday, Saturday and Sunday inclusive) when any level of the same age group is conducting tryouts. For Example, there should be no 12U A events scheduled on a weekend when 12U AA is holding tryouts. This applies to all age groups and skill levels.
   
• No contracts or guarantees, verbal or written, may be given to any players prior to the designated tryout dates and times for each level and age group. 
   
• Member Associations may encourage or invite players to attend a specific tryout even after failing to make a team at a higher level. However, no guarantees, verbal or written, may be given to any players prior to the designated tryout dates and times for each level and age group.
   
• All DSTHL Member Associations and Teams must comply with all of the above, regardless of the level of teams that are fielding.
