Mite Development Team Registration Now Open
Blades, Nighthawks, Eagles & Tomahawks Begin Quest for Patrick Cup in September
Registration for the Warriors Mite Development teams is now open. The Mite Development teams are designed for boys and girls making the transition from clinic to more team-oriented play as well as returning players who wish to continue their individual and team skills development.
Four teams, the Nighthawks, Blades, Eagles and Tomahawks, all named after former New Haven minor pro teams, will play a 20-game regular season schedule of half-ice games against each other as well as other local organizations. The season will culminate in a playoff for the Patrick Cup (named after league founders Lynn and Lester Patrick). The teams also participate in a Holiday Jamboree.
The Warriors Mite Development half-ice format conditions and improves all aspects of a player’s game, including skating, stick handling, shooting and more importantly, their reaction time in a safe and fun environment. There are no tryouts. Players will be evaluated at the beginning of the season to ensure a competitive balance between teams.
Play takes place three times a week from September 2012 through February 2013 (21 weeks) excluding Thanksgiving and Christmas. Players must be able to skate forward, backwards and stop to participate and full equipment is required. Tuition for the season is $900.
