Learn to Play Mini Mites

Learn To Play/Mini Mite Program

 

Learn To Playalso known as Mini Mites, is a development program and the first step for players who are interested in joining youth hockey. Mini Mites usually consists of 4 to 8 year olds who are just beginning to play ice hockey. This highly regarded program is intended to teach young players the basics of skating, stopping, stick handling, shooting and being a part of the team. Most of all, Mini Mites gives the player a chance to get on the ice and have fun!

Equipment is included in the registration fee, so all the player needs is a pair of skates, and a neck guard!

All players must be registered with USA Hockey to participate in the Learn to Play/Mini Mite program. The annual registration date for USA hockey begins April 1st.
