Hockey
Join us for a fun-filled winter while learning to skate and developing basic hockey skills. The program is divided into three levels:
- Learn to Skate, U6 and U8 (Mites). “Learn to Skate” is for first time skaters regardless of age.
- U6 is for players born between 7/1/2012 and 6/30/2014 that already have basic skating skills.
- U8 (Mites) is for players born between 7/1/2010 and 6/30/2012 that have basic skating skills. The U8 (Mites) level will feature an in-house league with 6 to 8 teams. Players will be divided into equally balanced teams in early to mid-November. All games will be played on half-ice with 2 – 10 minute run time periods.
We also welcome youth who were born before 7/1/2010 to join us if they are new to skating or ice hockey so they can give it a try. This is Owatonna’s starter program that players progress through before becoming active in Owatonna Youth Hockey Association traveling hockey.
