2. Mite Structure 09-10:
There was much discussion regarding this restructuring. It’s been decided that the mite teams will be designed as 4 mite major teams for 7-8 year olds consisting of approx 8 kids per team (then 2 travel teams will come out of the majors that make up a Mite A & Mite B team, consisting of 11-13 kids), and then 4 mite minor teams for remaining 7-8 year olds & all 6 year olds (4 cross ice mites even level playing teams, which each team will consist of approx 5-6 kids). John Cioffi is also getting with Milton & Missisquoi to see if they’ll be on board with that. John Bonnette will be the coordinator at the Mite level. There will be 1 practice ice slot on Tues & Thurs for all mites, 1 ice slot on Sat for the Mite Minors & then an ice time on both Sat & Sun for a Mite Major team. John Bonnette made a motion to approve the idea above in theory. John Lovelette seconded. Motion passed, unanimously.
