WAHA Mite programs take part in Jamborees. Youth teams in the area all gather at one rink to play games. Mites have approximately 8 Jamborees throughout the regular season. They consists of 3-4 short hockey games at each event. Games for Blue and White teams are played “cross ice,” and games for the Red team(s), games are played on half-ice with goalies.
