PMHA is making some modifications/changes to the Beginner (Tim Bit) and
Tyke age groups for the
upcoming 2016/2017 season. The reason for these changes is to provide an
improved and enjoyable hockey experience for all players and families. The changes are based on guidelines from
Hockey Canada and feedback receieved from parents over the last couple of seasons...
The major change is that there will be three divisions instead of two. The structure and details of each division are as follows.
Note: Please register players in the correct age group by their birth date. There will be flexibility to move kids to the group that best suits their level of development during the first two months of the season.
Division 1 - Beginners (Tim Bits)
● For kids born in 2012 or less skilled first year players born in 2011
● 2 teams at 12/13 players
● 1 ice time per week (Sat. 10:40 - 11:40)
● Program will run same as Tm Bits this year
● Cost approx. $175
Division 2 - Tyke
● Primarily for kids born in 2011 and stronger 2012[1] [NS2] kids
● 2 teams at 12/13 players

Division 3 - Tyke
● Primarily for kids born in 2010 and stronger 2011 kids

We look forward to trying this format out to make the hockey experience more enjoyable for the players and families.
Enjoy the off-season,
