Fall Mite League

The Fall Mite League is designed for Mites/ 8U is designed to prep C Mites/ 8U and above for the upcoming hockey season evaluations. Fall season will consist of 60 skaters and 4 goalies, there are opportunities for practice players if desired and D Mites/ 8U are welcome to be a practice player.

Games are all FULL ICE! with referees. There will be announcers to let know who got that goal and assist. Can't forget the music either!

GOALIES will be offered 2 hours of practice. Goalies have the option to attend both practice sessions. They will be able to practice with their teams as well as having an on ice mentor to work with them on their skills.

Teams will practice together with our lead instructor and team coaches. Practices are designed to challenge all players not only on skating drills, positional play so new players understand their positions on the ice.

The season consists of 6 practices and 8 games. There is a beginning of the season 1 hour evaluation for full time players only, if we feel that your player is not able to keep up, they may be asked to be a practice player.
