About The Open Tryout

We are excited to extend an invitation to 12U girls hockey players from the tri-state area to try out on June 17 & 18, 2023 at the Palisades Center Ice Rink, for the PeeWee Rangers tournament team. This is a golden opportunity for players to showcase their skills to potentially earn a spot on the team. 

Players selected to the team will train with the expectation of representing the New York Rangers at the 2024 Quebec International Pee-Wee Hockey Tournament and compete against the best young hockey players in the world.

The team will be coached by two-time Olympian Megan Bozek.

Showcase Your Skills

By participating in this open tryout, players will be evaluated by Team USA and NY Rangers Alumni, professional & collegiate coaches. Select players will be chosen to advance to the next stage of tryouts.

Then if you're selected to join the team, you'll receive top-notch coaching, training, and an unforgettable international experience as you represent the New York Rangers at the Quebec International Pee-Wee Hockey Tournament.
