Rep Tryouts

All players are returned to their home association each March and a transfer process is then initiated when applicable. Refer to WVMHA Registration page for further details.

U16AA EK Avalanche / U18AA EK Avalanche

On behalf of the EKMHA

Please see below for information on Cranbrook tryouts/registration:

Please note that if your player is at the U18 level, currently the two options available to WVMHA players are the U16AA EK Avalanche or the U18AA EK Avalanche.  There will likely not be a U18 Bucks Tier 2 team for the upcoming season if the U16AA team goes ahead.  All players (U13, U15 & U18) wishing to play outside of WVMHA must attend the Avalanche tryouts in August and be registered with both Cranbrook Minor Hockey and WVMHA.

WVMHA Registration for players wishing to tryout in Cranbrook will also open on May 1st, 2026.

Players who attend the tryouts but will still play in our home association, will use the regular registration link and do not need to pay the tryout fee.
