We are new to hockey, what should we expect?

Welcome we are so glad to have you! Rookie Mites is for those new to hockey/new to skating (All ages welcome) or Pre-K/ Kindergarten. They will have a short pre-season in November and December, with practices one day per weekend for one hour (the time of day will vary) followed by a small break. Rookie Mite season officially starts in January with practices & scrimmages 2 days per weekend (times will vary).

What are DIBS and how many hours do I need to work?

DIBS are volunteer hours, you can complete your hours in a variety of ways throughout the season such as working the concessions stand, parent coaching, team managing for example. Each family M1 and above have an obligation of 18 DIBS hours.

When will practice and game schedules be available?

Final Upper Mite teams have been rostered in Crossbar; schedules and team information can be found on their team pages.

Lower Mites have been rostered to high level teams to enable the schedule to show in each player's crossbar account. Final team assignments will be completed in early December.

Do rookie mite parents have to attend the parent meeting?

No, you are not required to attend but are welcome to attend if you would like. If anyone missed the meeting, the presentation is posted to the right! Email the Mite Coordinators with any follow up questions.

My child needs equipment, what are our options?

We do offer an equipment rental program on a first come, first served basis. A $50 deposit check is required to check out any equipment which will be held and returned to you when the equipment is returned at the end of the season. You must provide your own stick, mouth guard and neck guard. Learn more and submit an rental request here. The Bauer Vapor Xtend kit is another great option available at Scheels and Pure Hockey, this kit has all the pads needed to play hockey and can grow with your child (up to age 9 per the label).
