• A disturbing trend continues. Mites take third in President's Day tournament in StL after 3wins and 1 shootout loss. Mites survive as the only undefeated team in regulation, but fall to "tie breaker" rules from the tournament (One goal against). Win against Afton Americans in game 1. Darien Huskies are next. A depleted (sickness) roster gets an eventual shootout loss. Game three against Omaha saw 28 min in penalties and some interesting officiating for a 3-2 win. Progression through the "tiebreakers" yield OKC playing for third. Sooners defeat the same Omaha team 3-1 for third. The trip was much fun, and trips to the gateway arch, Dave & Busters, the movie "miracle" and a bunch of swimming enhanced the trip for all.
• Schedule is up for the President's day tournament in St. Louis. Two games Sat against the Afton Americans and the (Darien IL) Huskies. Sunday we play the Omaha Jr. Mavericks and end with the Champ/Consolation game Monday.
• Sooner Mites take third in the Texas Star Tournament. Mites go 2-0-2 as the only undefeated Mite team, and tie for the overall point lead. An untimely TIE against the DJHA Minor team knocked the Mites into a tiebreaker (most overall wins) for second place. The mites win the consolation game against the same Penguins for third. Team defense was the focus for the tournament, and much improvement was seen. Congratulations to the final Mite Champ, the Highland Park Scots (Whom we'd still like to play some time!). On the social front Jatin Davis captured the flag from the tail of a stampeding bull (calf) at the Mite scramble in the Mesquite Rodeo.
• Sooner Mites receive our opponents for MLK. We play the San Diego Gulls, Dallas Northstars, and DJHA Minor. We may also meet the Houston Aeros or the Highland Park Scots in the finals. We welcome the opportunity to play two or three new opponents.
• Sooner Mites go 2-0 against the Wichita Warriors Selects. Though outmatched, the warriors were great hosts, and put on a great day of games. Our thanks to the Wichita organization.
• Mites go 0-3-1 in Dallas Thanksgiving weekend. Four hard-fought games resulted in...... one tie. Ten Sooners skaters left it all on the ice against 15 or more skaters in each game...... Fun was had by all, and the sooner 'pins' were a hit due to the number of kids there that possessed them (11), and the number of kids that wanted them (300+). The mites also enjoyed watching Sooner Bantams (Go Josh)  play. Thanks to the Stars for an excellent tournament.
• Sooner Mites take on the Iceland Squirts - Sooners 5, Iceland 1.
• Sooners Go 5-0 at the OK Mite Bash. Our thanks to the Eskimotives from Arkansas, and the DJHA Penguins for a great tournament. Final ranking - Sooners, Penguins, Eskimotives.
• Sooner Mites entertain crowds at the OU-Texas 'games' Oct 24 & 25. As it turns out, our games were more closely matched than those of our namesake.
• Sooner Mites entertain 2000 folks at 11-0 win of the elder Sooners on Oct 17th. There was plenty of action in the 1-0 scrimmage during the second intermission.
• The Mite Sooners go 1-3-0 for the weekend in Dallas. The team played 2 great games, and gained much needed experience. Our thanks to the DJHA Penguins, and especially the DJHA Minor staff for their hospitality.
