WMHA Representative FAQ
What are Prep Skates?
Prep Skates are designed to get players back on ice after the conclusion of their Rep or HL seasons to prepare them for Rep Evaluations (Tryouts). Prep Skates are not mandatory and do not include any form of evaluation.
Players interested in Prep Skates should attend the age group they will be participating in for the 2023 season. For example, 2014 born players attend the U10 Prep Skates based on their surname. For the Prep Skate schedule please click

What do I need to attend Rep Evaluations (Tryouts)?
Families interested in Rep Evaluations are required to register with WMHA and purchase an Evaluation Passport. Registration and the Evaluation Passports will be made available on the WMHA website on April 1st.
Please note the Evaluation Passport is not refundable. Families requesting a WMHA Registration refund will be subject to an Administrative fee.
