Joining hockey for the first time can be exciting, but also scary. We strive to provide the information you need to be prepared for the upcoming season.

For anybody new to hockey, the Mites program is designed for youth ages 4 (by August 31) through third grade. Our goals for our youth players are to learn the game of hockey, develop skating skills, meet new friends, and above all have FUN! 

If you have any questions at any time, please don't hesitate to reach out.
