Mite C divisions will mostly play at Twin Ponds East on a 45×85 ice rink (The Puddle).   Ice time pending, we will attempt to schedule some of the games at a different location.

A minimum of 4 teams is required in each division.  If at 3 weeks prior to the tournament there are not 4 teams, the tournament director will reach out to the coaches to discuss possible playing options.  Full refunds will be issued if division does not play.

Mite Designation: 

Generally we do ask teams to play at where they play during their league year.  However, we know not all Mite teams use this approximation system.  Ergo, here is our easiest to understand approximation for where your team fits.  Please register at the appropriate level, or discuss with the tournament organizer where you may be placed.

Mite AA/AAA: Advanced 2nd year or mixed teams

Mite A: 2nd year travel teams / mixed groups

Mite B: 1st year travel teams / mixed groups

Mite C: 6U / House / 1st year SKATERS ~ 1st year travel teams should be playing at the B level.
