Thursday, August 13 Bradford Rink?? Q We are looking for a local hockey division for our son and have located your site as one of the closest for us. He is 8 years old and his birthday is in February. I noticed you have Callahan Ice Rink in Bradford , PA listed as one of your locations. Is this a location for team practice or just one of the locations where a tournament will take place? We would like to provide this opportunity to our son but are hoping this is something that we can do more locally than Olean , Erie or Jamestown . Would you be so kind as to either answer my question or send me more information concerning your youth hockey league, please? Thank you so much for you time.

The Bradford Rink is used in many ways depending on the age group, In-House or Travel teams.
Our In-House teams consist of kids born in 2000 on up. We usually have about 4 teams and they practice and have games on the weekends. Bradford is used about 30% of the time, but Olean is the home Rink for the other 70% or so.
Your son being that he has a 2001 birth year is still eligable for our In-house program, this year and next year. This program is mainly for beginners and once a kids gets so they can skate/play fairly well, I would recommend moving onto a travel team.
Travel teams practice twice during the week. Your son would be a Mite, and they usually have the early time slot of possibly around 6:00 on a Tuesday and Thursday (this has not been determined yet).
For Travel Mites there may be a try-out this year because of the number of kids wanting to play at this age group, if we have the numbers we would have two Mite teams; Mite Tier III and "House" Mites ("House" is still a travel team not to be confused with In-House). The try-out would be held in Early September at the Jamestown rink. Also, the Travel teams practice in Jamestown now through the end of September due to not having Ice in Olean until then. All of the travel games are played on the weekends. The Mites do play some of their home games in Bradford, but again.., Olean is the Home ice.
