Atlantic District Mite ADM Proposal
(Rev. 4/14/10)
General Scope of Program
The AAHA ADM Program applies
only to tournament bound travel leagues designated by the Atlantic District as
part of their good standing. USA Hockey registered independent and house/recreational
programs are expected to participate separately in the ADM model.
2010-2011 Season
This will serve as a
transitional season where the players currently playing full ice will be
afforded the opportunity to continue to do so if they choose by moving to
squirts or may elect to play in the modified ADM/AAHA Major division.
