Some important things you need to know:
The programs for new skaters are called Instructional programs. These programs typically begin the first few weeks of October on Saturday mornings. Mini Mites skate on Sunday mornings as well.
Jr Bears and Learn to Play have 2 sessions. Session 1 runs from 9/30 through December, session 2 runs from January through March. Both of these groups meet once per week on Saturday morning. Registration and payments are required for each sessions.
Registration with USA Hockey is required for all skaters and coaches/on ice helpers. Register at www.USAHockey.com
All practice times and dates will be on this website calendar (Be sure to select the specific "team" you are looking for).
All skaters will need full gear, this includes: Mouth guards, neck guards, shin pads, elbow pads, jock, chest pads, glove, helmet, skates, and stick.
We will hold an informational parent meeting in late September for Mini Mite parents. At this meeting, you will be able to pick up your players jerseys, socks, paperwork and meet the coaches.
