Mites (8U)
WELCOME TO THE 2024/2025 OMAHA HOCKEY CLUB 8U MITE HOUSE SEASON
The 8U Mite Mite House Program is designed for children ages 6 to 8, offering a great opportunity for young players to develop their hockey skills, build confidence, and enjoy the sport in a low-pressure environment. The program focuses on fostering a love for hockey through skill development and teamwork while ensuring that every player has a positive experience. Below are a few key updates about the upcoming season. Check back here and our OHC Mite Division Facebook page for updates throughout the season.
Eligibility and Evaluations: There are no tryouts to join the Mite House program. However, all participants must be age-eligible (calendar year 6-8 years old) and graduated form the Initiation Program. Evaluations will be held at the beginning of the season on September 24th and 26th. All skaters will undergo a brief evaluation to ensure appropriate group placement based on skill level. After the evaluations, teams will be drafted and you will be notified of your team and specific practice schedule.
Season Start: Tuesday September 24th
Season end: Sunday March 2nd
Games and Practice: The season will consist of two games during a one hour session on ether Tuesday or Thursday nights, a one hour ADM practice on Sunday mornings, and a one hour team practice every other Saturday morning at Motto.
Additional information: The week prior to September 24th all registered members will receive an email laying out season expectations to include information regarding specific evaluation date/time.
Jersey Orders
If your player was in IP last season, they may have purchased a WHITE jersey. For Mites, they will need both, a WHITE and a BLACK jersey. As a first-year Mite, you may need to purchase a BLACK jersey only. (You may need a white jersey too if yours from last season does not fit, or you never purchased one.)
If you have OHC Jr Mavs jerseys that still fit your player, you DO NOT need to purchase new jerseys. If your player has outgrown his/her jersey, please continue to complete the jersey purchase form.
**All Mite players will get a pair of black socks**
