Age Groups

For the 2008-2009 season we will use the following USA Hockey based age groups when assigning tournament divisions:

Level        Player Birth Years

Mite           2000 and younger
Squirt        1998 and 1999
Pee Wee   1996 and 1997
Bantam      1994 and 1995
Midget       1990 thru 1993


Skill Levels

B/House Level – generally teams chosen through a draft, in which all players within an organization are assigned to a team, with the goal of creating teams of equal skill level, within their own organization, with no players “cut” and bronze travel teams that have a .500 record or below. In states with a,b,c designation we would classify c and b teams with .500 record or below.  

AA Level – generally the “best” or first picked travel team within a Tier II organization. These teams will often consist primarily of “second year” or “major” aged players within the age group. In some cases, Major A teams are also a more appropriate fit for this level.

A Level – generally the second, or lower, travel level team chosen within a Tier II organization. These teams will consist primarily, but not necessarily exclusively, of “first year” or “minor” aged players within the age group. As there are many variations in “A” level teams, great care is taken in matching “A” teams of appropriate skill levels to create balanced and competitive divisions.

The tournament director will place teams within the appropriate skill level to provide the best competitive opportunities for all teams.
