Is Your Skater Ready?

Advanced Mini Mites is designed for current nine HOCKEY Mini Mite players who are ready for more advanced instruction and skill development. Players should:

  • Have reached yellow sticker status or higher on their helmet.
  • Be able to get up off the ice independently without assistance from a coach.
  • Be able to skate while holding and using their hockey stick.
Players who still rely on traffic cones or coach assistance to skate or get up off the ice are encouraged to continue developing their skills through the Learn to Skate Program.
