Age groups defined
Each age group is determined by Minnesota hockey rules. If you are within the age as of June 30 you still qualify to play in that age group.
you must be 6 years old or younger on June 30th to play 6U.
you must be 8 years old or younger on June 30th to play 8U
you must be 10 years old or younger on June 30th to play 10U
you must be 12 years old or younger on June 30th to play 12U
you must be 14 years old or younger on June 30th to play 14U
Some summer leagues determine age groups by birth year, I.E. 96/97 birth year teams play only their birth year. However some girls on this team may be playing at the 12/14 levels depending on if their birthday is before or after June 30th.
