Mite madness

Red and Blue levels will play an 8-team bracket-style tournament.

Whites will play 4 games for points. The top 4 teams will play a 5th game sunday. Top seeds in each pool will play for the championship and 2nd place in each pool will play for 3rd place.

All games will be 2 18-minute run time periods, with a horn every 90 seconds to signal a line change. Teams will change ends of the bench each period. This is in an attempt to make the distance needed to skate during line changes fair for the whole game.

Blues will play with mini nets, player may stand in front of the net, but can NOT drop to the ice to save a shot.

Whites will use intermediate nets and can have a player in goalie gear defending the net.

Reds will use full-size nets and have a player in full goalie gear defending the net.

Remember this is U8 hockey. The main goal of the weekend is for the kids to have fun. Verbal abuse to any on or off ice official will not be tolerated at any point and may result in expulsion from the tournament.
