Tryout Question?

Like most southern Minnesota hockey associations we have a Bantam A and B team. My question is Would you select a bigger (less skilled) kid over a smaller (slightly more skilled) kid for your Bantam A team? Please keep in mind ALL these players are B skill level, but will be forced to play A level (because there are only 3-5 true A players). Thanks for the input.

Pick the best hockey players, regardless of size.

If the skating ability is close, take the bigger kid. At the Bantam level those smaller kids will take a physical beating. Especially if their skill level is at the B level. Just my take.

Put both of these players that are competing for a spot against the best or biggest players on the ice. This should give you a good idea on how they will hold up on the upcoming seasons...

Everyone here knows it's more intreging (sp?) to pick the big kid. Look at the kid that played 4 marshall high school last year, huge couldn't skate very well and couldn't keep up 4 a regular shift, but he was BIG. Was there someone small and better probley. Bottom line if your small you have to be a lot better.
