DynoMites
The DynoMite Program builds confidence and core hockey skills for young players in a fun, development-focused environment aligned with USA Hockey and AAU principles. Players work on skating, stickhandling, passing, shooting, and game awareness through small-group instruction and station-based drills.
The season starts with cross-ice play for more touches and engagement, then transitions to full-ice hockey later in the year as players progress. Designed as a pathway to Travel Mites (8U) and Squirts (10U), the program emphasizes skill growth, teamwork, and a love of the game.
Ages
Boys and girls born between 2017–2020 (approximately ages 6–9) are eligible to participate in the DynoMite program. This developmental program focuses on building fundamental hockey skills, game awareness, and confidence in a fun, supportive environment.
