Welcome to Just for Mites

By Jim Clare, AHAI Mite/ADM Chairman

Welcome to the inaugural issue of the "Just For Mites" monthly newsletter. Each month AHAI will provide in-depth coverage of all things Mites, both here and across the country. The focus on mite hockey is important to the strength and growth of the game of hockey in Illinois. It is the foundation for the many clubs, associations and rinks around the state. Whether Learn To Skate (LTS) programs, Silver Mite In-House, Mite House, or Mite Travel, every level contributes to the stability and future of hockey in Illinois. Our goal is to provide our mite parents and coaches information about the goings on in our state, from mite cross-ice jamborees, ADM practices, and come November, Mite games and results. Additionally, we will focus on what other Affiliates around the country are doing that is working well to provide our coaches and administrators ideas that may work here. Finally, we will highlight cool practice ideas for both on and off-ice that our coaches can implement if they see fit. We encourage all our Mite coaches and parents to send in your thoughts, ideas, and successes to AHAI so we can celebrate them with the entire state.
AHAI appreciates all of you for your commitment to the great game of hockey and wish you continued success this season and beyond!
