♦ Termite players are beginning skaters ages 4-6. The termite program is designed to introduce and develop basic hockey skills.
♦ Supermite players are ages 7-8 or players with at least 2 years of termite experience. The supermite program introduces team hockey fundamentals and develops the hockey skills needed to prepare for the RYHA program.

Optional Equipment:
Our RYHA Mite program utilizes the OMC Sports Medicine and Athletic Performance facility to reinforce the skills being taught on the ice. Due to the variety of hockey skills in both our Termite and Supermites, performing these drills off ice can prove to be extremely beneficial, especially for those who struggle with skating and balance.
USA Hockey provides guidelines for 8U (8 and under Mites), which promotes cross-ice games, leads to more puck touches, and creates more learning opportunities. We've scheduled back-to-back practices to limit the back and forth travel to the rink on the same day.
When there is a back-to-back practice day, the second hour should be exclusively used for cross-ice scrimmage creating a fun learning environment.
