Bearcat Elite Hockey Club employs a comprehensive evaluation process to select athletes, starting with tryouts nationwide, and/or open online applications with video review, providing athletes with the opportunity to compete at top events nationwide each spring. Our aim is to place athletes at the appropriate playing level, fostering a competitive atmosphere that maximizes player development.

Our program features 'pure' birth years for 'AAA', and mixed birth years based on USAH 2025/2026 rules and regulations for our ‘A/AA’ teams. Our teams typically roster 9 forwards, 6 defensemen, and 2 goalies. This model promotes age-appropriate ice time, with a specific focus on injury prevention and recovery. This model also ensures our athletes will have the proper stamina and endurance to compete for the duration of events, including championship-level performance in tournament finals.

We are excited to welcome you to the Bearcat family, please find the player interest form below, along with a list of our co-ed tryout dates and locations, and a staff member will be in touch quickly!
