WHAT: The Eastview Hockey Mites! This program is designed for Pre-K - 3rd grade boys and girls!
WHEN: The Mite hockey season runs from the end of October to the beginning of March. The ice time is primarily on weekends. Each level has ice time on both Saturday and Sunday. Mite 1 has NO weekday time commitment. Mite 2 has one additional weekday practice each month; Mite 3 has one additional weekday practice every other week; and Mite 4 has one additional weekday practice each week.
WHERE: Hayes Arena / Apple Valley Sports Arena / Eagan Civic Arena / Burnsville Ice Center
WHY: The thrill of playing this exciting sport! Ice hockey is a fantastic sport for physical exercise, and most importantly, hockey will bring out a whole new confidence in your young student athlete that you may not have seen or imagined before. Plus...this is the STATE OF HOCKEY!
The emphasis of the Mite program is on the development of skating and hockey skills, and less on playing structured hockey games. A typical practice might have 5-10 minutes of warmups, 30 minutes of skills training, and 20 minutes of an in-house scrimmage against other Mites of a similar skill level.
