Last season, over 250 prospects competed for roster spots including many top CBHL players from Baltimore to Hampton. This season we will be having open tryouts to field birth year teams for 2002, 2001, 2000, 1999, 1998, 1997, 1996, U16 and U18.  We strive to provide area youth hockey players the ability to play with other top players from around the region to gain experience, build friendships, and achieve exposure to help them reach the next level in their hockey development.    “My son played forward (and some defense in Boston) for the WAS team last season. He made fast friends with each and every teammate, most of which carry forward to this day. It was truly a fantastic experience for him.  He is VERY MUCH looking forward to the 2010 tryouts, more so than just about anything else in his hockey universe.” -Peninsula Prowl Squirt A Parent.   To register or for more information, please visit http://www.washingtonallstars.com.
