2012 Birth Year: These players will move up to Squirts in the spring. Congratulations!!! You will use the Bluehawks registration to register your player.

Mini-Mites ($225): The kids will be on the ice 1-2 times a week with a focus on skill development and small area games. The season will start after Spring Break the week of 3/29 and end before Memorial Day weekend.

Regular Spring Season ($600): Major Mite House and Travel will be combined for the spring. This will be more like a travel program and teams will compete in the North Shore Spring League which offers teams at all skill levels. We want the kids to have more game time so the season will be roughly 8 practices, 12 games and 1 tournament (if tournaments are available given Covid). This program already includes the 3v3 once a week so please do not select the 3v3 option when registering. Tryouts will be 3/15 and 3/16 with practices starting after Spring Break the week of 3/29 and end before Memorial Day weekend.  

3v3 Only ($135): 3 on 3 hockey will be once a week for people that still want their player to skate over the spring but do not want to commit to being on the ice 2-3 times a week. This option is already included in the Regular Spring Season. Mini-Mites, please select this option when registering if you would like your player to participate.

Tournament Team: This option is for players that want to compete in tournaments over the summer and is dependent on interest and availability of tournaments. This costs nothing upfront as the cost will be determined on a tournament-by-tournament basis. We simply want to know who would be interested at this time.

If you have any questions about signing up you player for Mini-Mites or Major Mite/Travel, please contact Ken Johnson kbjis@yahoo.com
