USA Hockey Age Classification Name Changes

USA HOCKEY AGE-CLASSIFICATION

NAME CHANGES

 

 

 

At their recent Annual Meetings, the USA Hockey Board of Directors voted to remove references to age classifications using Mite, Squirt, Pee Wee, Bantam and Midget, and instead refer to them using age categories.
 
Age categories will now be referred as:
Youth
 18U (Formerly Midget 18U)
 16U (Formerly Midget 16U)
  14U (Formerly Bantam)
 12U (Formerly Pee Wee)
 10U (Formerly Squirt)
8U (Formerly Mite)
 
The birth year groupings will remain unchanged.  We will be updating the website to reflect these changes.  Old habits are hard to break, but we will use the new designations going forward.
