Mites is a OVHA house division where young boys and girls learn to incorporate teamwork into their hockey skills. The kids play half-ice hockey, which promotes more “touches” of the puck by all the players, thus improving the skills that the coaches are teaching in practice.

“A GREAT DAY FOR HOCKEY!”…Badger Bob Johnson

Welcome Mite Hockey parents and players of OVHA!

We look forward to having a very fun, educational season with your children this year. Mites is a OVHA house division where young boys and girls learn to incorporate teamwork into their hockey skills. The kids play half-ice hockey, which promotes more “touches” of the puck by all the players, thus improving the skills that the coaches are teaching in practice. In mites we coach as a group so your child will not be assigned to a specific coach until later.

As adults we all obviously love the game of hockey. Please remember, for the children it can be somewhat of a tough adjustment. Skates can be very painful at first, it can get really hot out there on the ice and then in a few months they will be cold. Parents, please encourage your child to have a fun time out there and the more time on the ice, the faster they will adjust. This stage of the game is about skill development and learning to love the game. Be sure to have fun and make good friends, there is very little room for the competitive edge at this age.
