2025/26 Evaluations

New for 2025/26

Female Council assembled a team to benchmark the evaluation processes used in all the Female Hockey Associations (FHA) in the province and compare those against policies and recommendations from Hockey Nova Scotia and Hockey Canada. The goal is to improve the evaluation experience for all involved to give a fair an equitable assessment to ensure athletes get placed on teams appropriate for their development and skill level. The team developed the Standardized Evaluation Guidelines posted below. These guidelines must be applied by all FHAs during the 205/26 evaluation period.
