Talons Prospect Camp FAQ
What is the Talons Prospect Camp?
The Talons Prospect Camp is meant to better educate and prepare potential competitive club recreational inline hockey players. It is our hope that through this prospect camp program, we are able to answer many of the questions young players have about playing competitive versus recreational level hockey, and its player development program. The prospect camp program allows players to see how they measure up against other prospective players and where they fit within the overall player development process. In addition, the camp gives our coaching staff the opportunity to meet and watch many players we would not otherwise be able to see, as well as those already interested in playing for the Talons Competitive Club and Talons Player Development Program.

Is “Full Season Program” registration limited?
Yes. To maintain the quality of the program, we are limited as to how many coaches are recruited for each of the teams within a certain age division. The Talons Prospect Camp attendance however, will not be limited. Currently, we must consider limiting the number of teams and players, in order to avoid over-crowding on the rink (based on limited practice time rental and budget limitations) while making it easier to address each player’s individual player development needs.
When will I be notified if I am one of the players selected to participate as a Talons Competitive Team Club member or within the Player Development Program?
Players will be notified as soon as their completed registration is received and processed. At the latest, players will receive notification by November 30th. January 1st will also the final day we will be accepting registrations.

Yes, of course. If the “Full Season Program” fills to capacity by January 1st and before we receive your registration we will let you know as soon as possible and provide a full refund. Players that register for the “Full Season Program” may also receive a full refund if they decide they can not attend the program, and only if they notify the Talons’ team representative by January 1st.
For a “FULL” refund, uniforms must be returned in good condition by the January 1st deadline. Refunds of fees after the January 1st deadline will be prorated based on the amount of practices already attended by the player
