8U/Mite Program

The primary focus in the 8U/Mite Program is to introduce fundamentals and skill development while making it fun and developing a passion for the game. The 8U/Mite Program at Arvada Hockey Association will continue to follow the USA Hockey ADM (American Development Model). Please visit the USA Hockey link for more information on the ADM at www.admkids.com/. In keeping with USA Hockey ADM, this season our Mite Division will consist of Beginner and Intermediate/Advanced levels.

The 8U/Mite Program will set the foundation for the players' hockey development and prepare them to progress through the older age divisions (10U/Squirt, 12U/Peewee, 14U/Bantam, and 16U & 18U Midget) where opportunities exist at Arvada Hockey to play on competitive travel, Recreational Option or In-house teams.
