The new season will begin August 1, 2016. Some of the benefits of the program are:

• Encourages more player development prior to high school season
• Allow all Midget age players intending to play high school hockey the opportunity to play for the State and National Championship as well.
• Reduce the competition between MAHA and MHSAA programs who are each recruiting the same players for their teams.
• Split season provides more places to play for players not making the varsity teams.
