Hi , we just finished up our first year of mite travel hockey for the Delco Phantoms, and boy what a busy season it was. I can’t believe how far these kids have come from the beginning of spring camp last year. As one of the coaches of the team I am very proud of all that these 6-8 year olds have accomplished. They played in a few tournaments and actually one a very prestigious one called "SILVER STICKS" which gave them an invite to Canada to compete in the regional finals. even though we had a tough time with some of the teams the experience was something we will never forget. We also got a chance to play in Central Park outdoors with team from New York, although not as grand as the Buffalo/Pittsburgh outdoor game it was cool nonetheless with a light snow falling during the game. As long as there are hotel hallways to run around in this is what mite hockey is all about.
