The Eastern Elite Championship Program (EEC) is tailored to athletes who require a team environment and competition to advance their skills. This program is currently runs in two age categories, 15U/16U and 13U/14U.
*Note* This has been an 18U program in previous years, however there is no longer a competitive category for athletes ages 17 and up.

Process:
Team NL Tryouts will be in one location for 2024. With 2025 Canada Games Programs entering its final cycle – Canada Games Coaches will be onsite to view athletes in the 2008 and younger age groups to identify any potential athletes in younger age groups that may have the ability to enter the Canada Games Pool this summer for training. As a result, all athletes need to be viewed together in the same training environment for evaluation.
Team NL Tryouts:
April 12-13 (Memorial University – St. John’s Campus)
Due to potentially high numbers, 14U and younger athletes in the Avalon Region will have a separate tryout on Monday evening April 15th.
