Participation.  Youth Hockey players must register and participate with the association whose boundaries incorporate the player’s residence. If a player desires to participate on a team from any other association, the player must obtain a waiver.

• Residence Qualification.  The Jefferson/Kennedy boundary line runs down France Ave between Hwy 494 and 98th Street. It then jogs eastward to Xerxes Ave and runs southward to the southern most part of Bloomington. Map

• School Attendance Qualification.  Children attending Poplar Bridge, Ridgeview, Normandale Hills, and private schools in the Jefferson area may play hockey for Jefferson Mites. A waiver is required if your association of residence is not Jefferson.  Children attending Olson, Hillcrest or Westwood may play hockey for Jefferson Mites without a waiver ONLY if they do not live in the Kennedy area.
