Mites

Welcome to the Mites Page

What is "Mites"?

Joining hockey for the first time can be exciting, but also scary. We strive to provide the information you need to be prepared for each practice and the upcoming season.

For anybody new to hockey, the Mites program is designed for youth ages 4 through third grade. Our goals for the youth are to get introduced to the game of hockey, develop skating skills, meet new friends, and above all have FUN

If you have any questions at any time, please don't hesitate to reach out.

  • Directors of Mites: Josh Pearce and Angie Gearey (mites@hutchhockey.org)
  • Equipment Manager: Bre Stuckey (equipment@hutchhockey.org)
  • Or ask a coach, team manager, or HHA Board member.
