Team Formation FAQs
How are teams formed? ? See the Evaluations page for info on how players are evaluated and teams are formed.
How are team sizes determined? ? In general, team sizes are impacted by our final registration numbers and many other factors:
- For cross/half ice teams, SCRA aims for the RAB recommended team size of 10-13 players.
- For full ice teams, SCRA aims for team sizes of 13 -15 players.
- HOWEVER, team size can be impacted by a number of factors including but not limited to:
- an awkward total number of players registered in an age group
- number of FT goalies available (U14-U19)
- number of teams permitted in each age group by RAB Tiering Policy and UAA results
- if any “cohort size” restrictions are required by public health orders
How are the number of teams in each age group / tier determined?
- AS: number of AS teams depends on total number of players registered in the age group
- U10-U14: number of teams in each U10 Step and U12/U14 tier is determined by number of players registered and the UAA team average results as per the RAB Tiering policy
- U16-U19: number of teams in each tier is determined by the RAB Tiering policy
