The Fremont Flyers are very proud to claim our grassroots Mite hockey program the one of the best in Nebraska. This program is offered to youngest hockey players between 4-8 years old (2016-year birthdays and younger for the 24-25 season). 

The Fremont Flyers Mite Hockey program has adopted the ADM development style which results in smaller groups with more puck touches and activities while also allowing for competitive play 

The Fremont Flyers are proud to have partnered with the Midland Women's Collegiate Hockey program to help at practices. Because of this partnership, we are able to offer a very high coach to player ratio and give young skaters the one-on-one attention they need to succeed at this age.

Our mites practice two times per week on Mondays 5:45-6:45 p.m. and Thursdays 5:30-6:30 p.m. and participate in cross-ice and half-ice tournaments.

“In a world where youth sports are under scrutiny because of specialization, politics, or parental issues, USA Hockey’s American Development Model is the solution. The age-specific and age-appropriate training keeps kids excited about coming to the rink, while also developing them and guiding them on a path to achieve their full potential. The bottom line is, the ADM has found a way to develop skills, commitment and athleticism, all the while making it fun and entertaining for the athletes. It’s a fantastic program.”

“With cross-ice hockey and small-area games, there's way more action, way more fun, and it creates more offense. I know it was a lot more fun for me growing up with small-ice hockey. Skating 200 feet down the ice doesn't make a lot of sense for young kids, and it's not a very efficient way to use the ice, either. The game's all about skill, creativity and competition. Playing in smaller spaces helps develop all of that, plus it's fun, which is one of the things I like most about the ADM.”
