In- House Mites Ages 4-8. Skating, stick handling, passing, shooting and game situation fundamentals are taught at this level. This In-House development league is a great level to start and learn hockey for boys and girls. Emphasis is on developing knowledge of the rules of the game and proper positioning. 5-10 games per season with some travel.  It is recommended that kids without basic skating experience attend Learn to Skate prior to joining Mites.

Squirts Ages 9-10. A no checking league where positioning and team play are further enhanced. Players are challenged to skate faster, harder and cleaner. Players often discover preferred positions and comfort level. Coaches work with players, improving individual skills and building game knowledge.

Boys Competitive Levels:

Peewees Ages 11-12. Players at this level just love to play the game! They learn how to be a physical player while mastering checking, learning to take a check and to develop hands – particularly their shooting skills. Kids blossom at this level as hockey players. Team first attitude, off-ice expectations and representation of the association take on a greater meaning for players.

Bantams Ages 13-14. Bantam players fine tune their positions while developing physically. Bantams are safely pushed to their limits in an environment that encourages team play and constructs bonds that carry into their high school careers. Development of individual skills is practiced.

Varsity (&JV) NRYHA belongs to the Wisconsin Interscholastic Athletic Association (WIAA). 

Girls Competitive Levels:

Girls Co-Op Girls from New Richmond, Somerset, and Amery have joined together to form U10B, U12B and U14B teams (the B designation applies to Minnesota only as Wisconsin has a single class structure).
