Sibley Area Hockey offers a developmental program for boys and girls typically between the ages of 4-7 to introduce the athlete to the great sport of hockey.

Mini-Mites are on the ice usually every Saturday and Sunday morning for one hour beginning November 6nth through early March.

In addition to the low price, Mini-Mite families have the ability to participate in our free equipment leasing program.  To learn more about that great program, follow the equipment link found on the home page of our web site.

We encourage your athlete (and their friends) to experience the thrill of hockey!
