Neither snow nor rain nor cold nor gloom of night stays these micro mites from the swift completion of a fun night of hockey.
This year, the Roseville Area Youth Hockey Association introduced Micro Mites. Micro Mites is a program designed for boys and girls who are not quite old enough for Mite hockey, but still want a taste of hockey. RAYHA set aside one hour of outdoor ice at the Roseville Oval each Wednesday from 5pm to 6pm starting on November 16th and running through the end of the Oval season.
Each week a dedicated group of kids showed up. They showed up in the snow, in the rain, in the cold, they just showed up. On average there were between 10-14 kids each week. Popular games included follow the leader, pom-pom pull away and of course everyone’s favorite cops and robbers.
The program was supervised by an equally dedicated group of parent volunteers. Whether they were getting “chased” by a cop, or trying to “catch” a robber, the parents really helped to make things fun for the kids.
