Arctic Foxes Announce U16 Midget Lite Program for 07-08 Season

New for the 07-08 season is the addition of a U16 Midget Lite Program.   The U16 Midget Lite Program was specifically designed for players who are already participating with their high school team and are also interested in playing travel hockey on the weekends.  In order for a player to be eligible for the U16 Midget Lite program, the player must be rostered on a high school team by August 1^st, 2007.  Players enrolled in U16 Midget Lite will participate in 3 practices every 2 weeks, consisting of 1 weekday practice every other week and 1 weekend practice (on average) every week.  The actual number of practices each weekend will range between 0 and 2 depending on the games scheduled for that weekend.  The fee for players who enroll in U16 Midget Lite is $995.00.  U16 players who: 1) are not eligible to enroll in U16 Midget Lite (i.e. are not playing on a high school team) or 2) choose not to enroll in U16 Midget Lite (are playing on a high school team but prefer the additional instruction) will be assessed the full player fee and will receive 1 additional skills session per week.  These skills sessions will primarily be instructed by a member of the RMU Division 1 Men’s Ice Hockey team coaching staff. 

The U18 Midget team will not participate and is not affected by this program.

All U16 and U18 teams will receive practice instruction from the RMU Division 1 Men’s Hockey team coaching staff.  This instruction will occur during the weekday practices and is subject to RMU coaching availability for individual practices.
