Player Rating System

Rate yourself as accurately as possible using the following rating system. Your rating will be combined with those of your teammates to establish an overall team ranking in the tournament.  Our goal is to achieve as much parity as possible in each division and provide all teams with an equal chance of winning the Friendship Cup. Rate yourself honestly…no sandbagging, no handicap for weight, age, or last time you played…just rate your ability and skill level!

Give yourself a numerical rating based on the following categories, considering what division you personally should play in based on levels of talent you’ve seen in past tournaments. If you don’t know, ask your team coordinator for help! 

Numerical rating bases on following categories considering personal skill and history in sport. In between levels, can be marked as 1/2 points.

5 - A level player. College, Jrs, higher experience. Skillful in all areas of the game. Wants to play against the best

4 - B level player. High school level experience. Skillfull skater with speed when needed. Ability to stickhandle, pass and shoot accurately with your eyes up. Ability to cycle the puck when playing with similar level teammates.

3 - C level player. Possibly plays growing up but not at high levels or self-taught as an adult. Can skate in all directions well. Has some stickhandling and puck moving ability but have yet to master it. Ability to aim and hit in the general spot you’re aiming at.

2 - D level player. Better understanding of the game compared to the beginner. Can skate forware/backwards, turn and stop well. Ability to pass and shoot when given time.

1 - Beginner. Brand new to the sport. Has never played in a tournament or very limited game experience. Ability to skate without falling in most directions.
