Our mite development cross ice model is one of the best programs in the area for the new hockey family with players born 2015 - 2018 (for the 2023 - 2024 season).  We offer weekly practices that will foster growth of the basic hockey skills and help your young player gain the confidence to play in our full ice program. Playing in the Connecticut Hockey Conference (CHC) our mite development teams enjoy a preseason jamboree, 18-20 cross ice games and a year end jamboree put on by the Connecticut Hockey Conference (CHC) that will leave your young player wanting more. Team sizes are kept under 12 skaters plus a goalie to allow for plenty of action. Want more information? Contact Peter Alden PAlden@EliteHockeyAAA.com.
