NEW MITE TRAVEL DIVISION FORMAT

The Mite Travel Division will not have a festival this year. The festival will be replaced with a Declaration Season which will be used to place teams at a playing level. GRHL teams will not particpate.  This is a pilot program with the plan to refine and expand to the other age groups over the next several years.

The format, at a high level, is as follows:
 
·         Teams will play approximately 6 games between 10/2 and 11/7
·         Teams will then be placed at a playing level for the regular season
·         Teams will play 10 to 12 games starting 11/29 as the regular season
·         Declaration Season games will not count in the regular season standings
 
Pat Culiberk and Tim Jost are the Mite Commissioners and they will have more information at the Mite coaches meeting to be held on 9/11 at 9:30 a.m. at the St. Louis Mills’ Ice Zone.
