1. SGMHA Evaluation Process

2. Purpose
Create a transparent process for all our members to know & understand
Ensure all divisions follow the same process
Ensure correct placement of players
Minimize on-ice issues during evaluations (Strong vs Weak)
Minimize wasted ice slots based on previous evaluation process
Peewee AA and PAC to follow a separate process
Gain buy-in from the Executive on this process

3. Evaluators Qualified evaluators
Any person that applies to be a Head CoachSend out requesting applications – Develop questions
Credit towards fees or concession shifts?
Evaluators must commit to attend all skates in session or scores do not count
Plan to have training session including COO, Division Directors and Evaluators

4. Scoring System Same sheets as used in past
All divisions to use same 5 point system
Ensure understanding of point system
Can use 0.5 increments as needed
Comments are Important
Eliminate names from the sheets
Educate evaluators on the process

5. SGMHA General Evaluation Flow

6. Random Placement (Alphabetical) Pre-Grouping of Players
Random vs Pre-Group
Random Placement (Alphabetical)
Pre-Grouping of Players
Discourages weaker players
Allows weaker players to play the game
Showcases weaker players
Puts equivalent skilled players together
Showcases strong players ability to be individuals
Difficulty in grouping first year players with second year players
Peewee used 12 hours of ice to determine bottom 30 and top 30.
More effective use of evaluation ice
Max two skates with equal skill level to determine placement
Potentially four skates with equal skill level to determine placement
