FAQ
- How are the teams finalized? Instead of the old way of putting teams together for ex. U14, U16, U18. The teams will now be put together one birth year at a time. In the past players who were considered a first year would have a difficult time making the team. With the teams broken down by birth year it allows all players a chance to participate and represent their province/state.
- I heard there were scouts at the tournament, is this true? Yes, this is true. The Americans have a large Collegiate Roller Hockey Program. The Colleges send out their scouting staffs to attend the tournament in an effort to find their future players. The scouting process begins with the 13-14 yr olds where they are identified and ends with the 17-18 year olds with invites to tryout camps and scholarships.
- Why State Wars over other tournaments? This is currently one of the larger Roller Hockey events in North America and continues to grow in size each year, In 2017 it eclipsed 300 teams. State Wars is the only State/Provincial tournament of its kind for the sport of Roller Hockey. As well it will be an event that stands alone when players/parents look back on their Roller Hockey experiences. This is now the only tournament in North America where you will have the opportunity to play teams from all corners of Canada, the US and around the world.
- How many players make up a team? In 2023 the majority of the teams will be made up of 8 skaters and 1 goalie. The program still may decide to add additional players to a team
- Whats the estimated cost of having my child participate in the program? The estimated cost including flight, hotel, team gear, tournament registration, food and entertainment would be approximately $3200.
- I've heard there is potential to have more then one team per birth year. How does that work? There are 3 divisions of play AAA, AA, A in each birth year. If the numbers of players trying out is sufficient we will attempt to put teams toghether in each division of play.
- If my child is selected to the team what's the next process? The players that are selected will be asked to pay a non-refundable deposit of $400 CDN. The players will be sized up for their equipment and explained the next steps, how to book flights, hotel rooms and prepare for a Training Camp in June
