2023 SLP Mite Jamboree Skills Competition Details

Back again this year to our Spring Lake Park Mite Jamboree experience is a player skills competition!  This is intended to be a fun event for the kids and for teams to cheer them on.  The competition will take place on Saturday as listed in the schedule.  The competition will feature two skills: 1) Speed and 2) Shooting Accuracy.  Each team will be able to have up to two individual skaters participate in the event--1 for each skill.  This is only limited because we have over 600 skaters participating over the weekend and unfortunately just couldn't possibly handle all of them.  A (Mite 4) teams may submit two players per event to increase competition numbers.

We will feature trophies for the top three skaters split out by Mite level and each of the two competitions.  No results will be shared or made public.  Coaches may request results from the skills competition coordinators for their skaters only.  Trophies will be presented after each individual event within each skills block so you don't have to stick around all two hours of the event.  We ask that coaches determine their two skaters and have them ready to participate at their respective times.  Coaches will provide the names of their skaters ahead of time as much as possible (makes it easier for us) but may provide to the skills coordinators at the time of the event worst case.

Participation in the event is not required for the Jamboree but encouraged as a fun option to complete your weekend experience.  We ask that everyone cheer and encourage ALL skaters during the event to promote fun hockey experience and encourage our young kinds to continue to grow their interest in the sport!  Volunteers will be available during the weekend for questions.

We look forward to seeing your kids show their stuff and having fun!
