Tryouts: The only time of year when "smell-checking the gear" counts as a survival tactic and an 8:30 PM coffee is a basic human right.

We’ve put together the official Blades Tryout Bingo card for everyone currently vibrating at a high enough frequency to melt the ice. Whether you’re re-doing a TJ in the lobby or refreshing your email for the 400th time...we see you, Blades families!

How to play:
1️⃣ Save this card.
2️⃣ Tag your rink bestie who is definitely checking off that bottom right square with you on Monday night.
3️⃣ Try not to get a Bingo before the first puck even drops.

(Pro Tip: "Drove home in complete silence" is basically a free space for every hockey parent in West Michigan.)

Let’s get it, Blades! 💙

The internet has spoken. 🔥

We knew the new Eagle Blue was fire, but the reaction from the community has been absolutely next level. 60k+ views and a flooded inbox later, it’s clear: The Blades rebrand is the most anticipated drop in West Michigan. 💅🏻

But here’s the reality: You can’t just buy this look at a store. You have to earn it on the ice.

We aren't just changing the colors; we’re leveling up the entire organization. High-level player development, a fantastic culture, and a family-first atmosphere that looks just as good as it plays.

Want your name on the back of the real thing this September? 🏒

The journey starts THIS Monday, May 18th.
💰 Fee: $30 (covers all your sessions!)
