Totally understand, unless your Mite is in an "independent" organization like RMU which only connect to the Foxes via the rink.
Keep in mind, RMU Mite Colonials act as a feeder program of sorts into many other organizations, PPE, Foxes, NP, SP just to name a few. The coaches will follow their kid and most, (not all) will coach for the new organization.

I can speak for the Marianne Watkins-run development program at RMU. For several years I went to these clinics for extra ice time and to enjoy the scrimmages they ran at the end. They're good programs,
Thank You!
