Tryouts will not be happening on June 5th due to COVID-19. No surprise there. USA Hockey will be convening for its annual Congress on June 13th at which point they will be talking about next season, tryouts, COVID-19, etc.

CAHA has scheduled their meeting on June 17th/18th to discuss what California is going to do given USA Hockey's guidelines. It is understood that some rinks do not even have ice right now and players are out of shape/practice.

If you are making vacation plans, we know that in the best case scenario, tryouts will not be scheduled before 8/21/20.  So, you are safe to make your plans up to that date.  Again, we are waiting to hear in late June for updates to the season and tryouts.

Should be interesting. Can't wait to get back into hockey season as long as it can be done safely.

GSE and Foothill High School Alumni, Zach Smith, was a great golfer when he played hockey for us and he won the PGA's Scottsdale Open!  He finished 8-under 62 to clinch his first professional win.  Congrats, Zach!
