37's Elite - Thieves AAA Hockey Club 

Thieves Hockey host tryouts each year in September for our 37's Elite/MN Youth Elite League (YEL) team.

Players not chosen for the Thieves 37's team will undergo assessment for our Thieves Selects (Lower Elite) or Thieves Red (Upper Open) teams. Please be aware, not everyone is guaranteed a spot on our teams. Thieves Selects serves as both our 37's development squad and a talent pool for MN Youth Elite League (YEL) Alternate players. In the event of a requirement for additional players by the 37's, priority will be given to those from the Thieves Selects roster. For further information regarding our AAA teams, kindly refer to Thieves Selects or Thieves Red.

Following the September tryouts, if there is a need for additional players, we may hold another tryout during the President’s Day holiday in January when most Northern Minnesota schools are off.

Thieves 37's can also be chosen directly by the Thieves Hockey Club and the respective coaching staff of each age group. If you're interested in playing for the Thieves or the 37's, please contact us to plan for tryouts in September.

If you're interested in joining Thieves Hockey, you can sign up for our annual tryouts in September or schedule an EVAL Skate by completing our player interest form here. One of our coaches will then reach out to learn more about your player.
