JR CYCLONES U8 MITE PROGRAM

• Mite skaters will see  1-2 (75-minute) practices a week depending on if they're on a travel or house team. 
• Practices will feature American Development Model style training with a small area, competitive fun station-based drills, and Power Edge Pro Reactive Training. 
• Coaches from the Jr Cyclones Development Staff will run every practice. We intend to grow every kid's passion for the game, and their skill set with the ability to thrive in a team environment. The most important will be for them to HAVE FUN!
• Goaltending coaching is included in team practices and position-specific training sessions.

• Signing up for Mites Kickoff Weekend is the first step to signing your player up for an 8U team.
• 8U is Co-ed for players who were born in 2017 and younger. There is no body contact and we encourage younger strong skaters to join.
• Based on evaluations, 8U players are placed in either the house or travel program. There are no cuts and every player will have a team to play on.
• The 2025/26 Mite Kickoff is on August 23rd and 24th at Queen City Sports. 
• 8U is the next step if your player is in Learn to Play and wants to be a part of a team or from another program and wants to start competitive hockey.
