Travel Mites & U8

Travel Mites is a step up from In-House Mites. Players will receive more ice touches and will also be playing against other associations. There will be a girls U8, as well as boys level 2, 3, and 4. There will be no formal tryouts, but will be team leveling early in the year; this will help determine which team will help each player develop the best. We will also consider other factors such as age, grade, school attended, etc. We want every child to love the game of hockey while providing the best opportunities for the player to improve their skills. Our goal is that every player will be challenged while also gaining the confidence to carry the puck and make plays against other players. The focus is development. Parents, please remember hockey development is a marathon, not a sprint. 

Please reach out to the Mite Director if you have any questions or concerns or would like a recommendation on whether your player should be playing In-house Mites or Travel Mites.
