Personally, and I say this as a paid evaluator of many tryouts, whether or not a kid says thank you at the end of a tryout has very little to do with his ability to make the team.

Yes it is polite and yes it will not hurt your standing with me, but it will make virtually no difference to your rank. Personally, I do not like artificial suckups, they are transparent and can easily be spotted. Let your work ethic and puck stopping talent speak for you. Come to the tryout in peak shape - that will speak way more volume than words.

I make a point of meeting with the goalies after the session to explain why they were cut. That is a good time to ask detailed questions regarding areas needing improvement.
