Durango Ice Devils Hockey
6U/8U-Mites
We offer 8U hockey for kids ages 4-8 years old. Our focus is the fundamentals and fun.
We ask that children are proficient skaters prior to beginning the program for the most development and fun.
If your child isn't a proficient skater yet, please start with the Learn to Skate program through Durango Parks and Rec.
We accept 8U registration year round. Registration will be pro-rated if you join the session late.
