The Edmonton Brick tournament has implemented some changes to the California Brick program. Previously, the California jurisdiction encompassed California, Arizona, and Nevada. All players outside of these states were considered "Import Players," which by Edmonton Brick tournament rules, we were allowed to accept no more than three import players on our roster.
The Brick Tournament organizers have now expanded our geographic region for 2018 and beyond to include states in the Pacific and Rocky Mountain districts. For those of you unfamiliar this would include: California, Oregon, Alaska, Hawaii, Idaho, Utah, Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado, Oklahoma, and Texas. Washington will remain as the only "open" state.
The new name of the program will be: Western Selects Hockey and all players residing in the above mentioned states are eligible to participate as "local" players. Anyone outside of these areas would still be considered an import player.
The process for attending tryouts will be changing from previous years' method. Now, players must attend pre-tryout clinics to be evaluated in their local region. If you live in Colorado, you would attend a clinic in the Denver area. If you live in Texas or Oklahoma, you would attend clinics in Dallas. If you live in Arizona, you attend in Phoenix. If you live in Alaska, you will attend in Anchorage. All others can attend in any of these cities closest to them.
