What is Pond Hockey?

Pond Hockey is the way Mite Hockey Players learn the game the best. The rink is divided in 1/2 or 1/3’s with Border Patrols. The kids are split by skill level and then play a game of 3 on 3 or 4 on 4 hockey. There is no coaching and no stoppages of play. The pond hockey game teaches kids to score quickly and then get back on defense, just like we used to do at the Parks and Frozen Ponds of years past. This free flowing game teaches the kids to handle the puck, play with teammates, all in an unstructured environment. All kids in the ACYHA Mite program get an exposure to Pond Hockey beginning at Mini Mites and all the way to our highest level.
