For seven and eight-year-old players (2015-2016), AJH offers a comprehensive 8U Mites program running from October 4th through February. Practices are twice per week, led by AJH Executive Director Harlan Pratt (and other qualified coaches). The objective of the 8U Mite program is to develop on-ice balance, coordination, agility, and speed. Lessons are varied and exciting; the overriding goal is that all participants leave the ice with a smile, emphasizing the foundation of skating, speed, power, and endurance. AJH plans to use activity-based, small-area, and cross-ice games. Introducing players to controlled competition during several Jamboree-style games throughout the season (minimal travel for these events). During Jamborees, Aspen 8U players (8U Mites and 8U Girls)  compete against other mountain programs in cross-ice games.
