Little Avalanche's

Intro-Hockey/Intro to Mites

The Little Avalanche program is designed as a “Learn to Play Hockey”, “Intro Mites” program. Little Av’s is a program that’s designed to help young players prepare to enter a Mite league. The program is for young players that have completed a “learn to skate” program and can now continue on with their skating development while learning the skills necessary to play hockey.

The program will begin in early September and will continue through early March. 4 teams of 11 skaters each will be established having their own head coach. The teams will have one practice on Saturday mornings from 8:40 to 9:40am and then play half ice games on Sunday morning from 8:10 to 9:10 am. The cost of the program will be $575, total due at time of registration.

The director of hockey programming for the Ice Den, Casey Kesselring, will operate the program. The Director, based on each individual player’s ability, will have the option of moving players between the Mini Avalanche program and the Little Avalanche program.

Players should have completed at least two sessions of Mini Av’s, or another skating program. Players entering Little Av’s should be able to skate up and down the ice at a reasonable pace and be able to perform a two skate hockey stop in at least one direction.

This season we are asking all parents to register their Mini and Little Avalanche players with USA HOCKEY for the 2008-2009 Season using the USA HOCKEY online registration process. Go to this webpage http://www.usahockeyregistration.com/ to begin the registration process: The NH Avalanche Registrar Kim Burgess will need to verify each registration before players and coaches are allowed to participate in any Ice Den Arena on ice practices and games.
