We are Finalizing Coaching staffs, if you are an experienced coach and interested in helping out, please reach out to Bill McCoshen

Youth Team Tryouts

Tryouts for all teams will consist of 2, one hour on-ice sessions. Format will be a mix of skating, puck skill drills, competition, small area games, and full ice scrimmage.  Some age levels may have invitation based team selections.

Team Coaches and additional evaluators will grade all players and average out scores to determine who makes the teams. Evaluators will do their best to watch all players and rank based on tryout performance and  understanding players' puck skills, skating ability, attitude, work ethic, potential, and greater understanding of the game.

Players that are chosen for the Jr Jet's Team will be Called within 48 hours after last tryout and invited to join the team.

Final Roster will be posted on the team page under roster tab a few days later.

Typical roster will include 15 Skaters, 2 Goalies. Some teams may offer a couple players Alternate Spots to participate in practices only.

Unfortunately, not all players trying out will be offered a spot this spring as these can be highly competitive teams to make.

The decisions to pick a team each year is a very very difficult process for our evaluators and coaching staffs. One of the hardest things to do in sports, is to tell a player he/she didn't make a team.

Please keep a positive yet realistic outlook while instilling confidence in your child, knowing that kid’s development at different times and it’s just a game!

We wish everyone the best of luck training this off season and hope you find an avenue to reach you hockey goals. 

Thanks again for trying out!

Jets Fall Showcase U16 & U18 Teams

08/09/2017, 12:00am CDT
By jr jets

Janesville forms partnership with WEHL & WAHA for Fall Teams

The Janesville Jets and the Wisconsin Elite Hockey League (WEHL) will partner again this fall to U16 and U18 Showcase teams in the NAHL Showcase in September and the Nike-Bauer World Invite in Chicago. Last years teams did very well and many of those U18 players were tendered or drafted by junior teams.

Players that are on WEHL teams will be given preference to make the Jr. Jets rosters. Under terms of our agreement with WEHL and WAHA, no more than 3 non-WEHL players will be selected for either team. WEHL coaches are submitting recommendations for selections. So your best opportunity to make the Showcase roster is to participate in the WEHL program.

Saturday August 26th at Sun Prairie Ice Arena 
U16 Team Tryout-12:00-1:30pm
U18 Team Tryout- 1:45-3:15pm

Tryout fee is $50.00 for any player who is on a WEHL TEAM

For questions email bill@janesvillejets.com

High School players in the 2001 and 2002 birth year are eligible to tryout for the Jets U16 tournament team. High School players in the 1999 and 2000 birth year are eligible to tryout for the Jets U18 tournament team.

Players must be Wisconsin residents, but can come from anyplace in the state. A list of of recommended players is given to the Jets Coaching Staff from the Regional WEHL Coaches and GMs to help the short tryout evaluation process. 

The Jets/WEHL partnership is designed to give more Wisconsin players an opportunity to be noticed by junior and college scouts at two premier AAA events.

Tier I players are not eligible to tryout. These teams are for Wisconsin High School or WAHA Midget players only.

The Showcase team fee is between $250-$300. That includes tournament fee and practices. It does not include travel or related expenses.
