The end of Mites

For a crash course in youth hockey....

• Kids 8 and under play Mites. 
• Kids 9 and 10 play Squirts. 

Mathias has spent the fall and winter playing Mites hockey on the local Gold team. As Mathias is on the verge of turning 9; next fall when hockey resumes he'll move up in size into Squirts. Most of his friends are staying with Mites going into next season. Watching them play there seems to be a world of difference as the Squirts are bigger and faster on the ice.  That will be quite a challenge.   

In the meantime the Golds have closed out their season with a few games.  We can proudly report that Mathis scored a goal in his first game against and outside team!
