Bloomington Blade Day - Organized by BAHA - Held the First Saturday in December

This day all Bloomington teams except mite teams, are scheduled for pictures. All teams have games. Jefferson and Kennedy play against each other whenever possible. It is not recommended to schedule a tournament this weekend, but picture make ups are available and are handled by BAHA's VP. Mite teams will have a separate picture day.

Youth night - Jefferson and Kennedy girls HS teams host the event for all the Bloomington youth hockey players. Admission to the game, voucher for free pop, pop corn and hot dog are given to the girls at the HS game. Youth night is decided by the day the two HS teams play each other at BIG. Before the game, the Bloomington mite girls are introduced as they skate to the center of the ice. Helmets, skates and gloves are required. The Mites line up on the red line facing the flag during the National Anthem. They skate to the locker room to get dressed in full gear. The mites will exhibit their hockey skills between the first and 2nd period before the Zamboni clears the ice for about 6 minutes.

Winter Fete - This is an event hosted by the girls mite hockey teams.

Bloomington Jamboree - Mid March event for Bloomington mite teams

The girls mite teams should send at least 1 rep to attend jamboree meetings throughout the year. The lead alternates between Jefferson and Kennedy each year. This is the Mite's biggest fund raiser and it's important the girls teams are doing their part. (Joy/Pam, you may know more what's involved in this than I do and can probably word it much better, but I want it known what the responsibilities are and why it's important that we have proper representation in this event)
