2022-23 Mite Teams

Hello and welcome to CCHA! We are so excited to see you and your players back at the rinks.

If you have any questions about our program, you can find some great information down below, in our parent presentation (recording found in the column to the right), and in our new to hockey section. We're happy to answer questions if you'd like to reach out. 

New Mite Structure for CCHA

We are excited to announce some structure changes within our youth/boy's Mite program. Effective for the 2022-2023 season, CCHA will be moving to a Mite 1-4 structure. There will be no changes to Rookie Mites. The reason for making this change now is to better align skater skill and development not only within our own organization, but with the surrounding communities who utilize this structure. The number of teams per level will be determined once registration closes, but we are anticipating two Mite 4 teams, five Mite 3 teams, four to six Mite 2 teams, and four to six Mite 1 teams. There will be additional communication around the tryout process and level definitions posted soon, but wanted to communicate these changes with you before registration opens. 

The goals of the program are simple:

  • Create a fun competitive environment for all ages and skill levels
  • Progressive, age appropriate drills led by well trained coaches at all levels
  • Fundamental skating and puck handling development that is repeatable
  • Retention of players
  • Opportunity for all to play at each level

There will be no evaluations for Rookie Mites. Mite 1 will go through an evaluation process to ensure balanced teams. Final level placement for Mite Levels 2-4 will be determined by a tryout process. The defined parameters for grade at each level as follows:

  • Rookies – Pre-K-K
  • Mite 1 – K-1st
  • Mite 2-4 - 1st-3rd

We will also allow for tryout opt outs. If your player is a 1st grader and would like to opt out of tryouts they will automatically be placed in Mite 1. If your player is a 2nd or 3rd grader and would like to opt out of tryouts they will automatically be placed in Mite 2. Lastly, if your child is entering kindergarten and is brand new to hockey/first time skater, please register for Rookie Mites.

We understand that there may be some hiccups along the way as we transition to a Mite 1-4 plus Rookie Mite program. The Boys Hockey Development Committee, the Lower Level Commissioners and Board are doing our best to make this a smooth transition.
