“closed tryout” means it is only open to players who registered with MA hockey and played for a MA hockey team during the 2020-2021 season.

Thank you, I appreciate the explanations.

this is correct. they could have done a better job explaining what "closed" means. a kid from NH cant try out on 3/13 for a mass club. A kid from mass is allowed to try out for another mass team if they choose.

Incorrect - a kid from NH may try out if he or she was on a USA Hockey Roster for a Massachusetts Program as of 12/31/2020
