There are FIVE age divisions in youth ice hockey:

USA Hockey Levels of Competition

Level AAA - also known as Tier I - is the highest level of competition for very skilled, experienced players in the Pee Wee, Bantam and Midget age levels only. These teams compete for State, Regional and National Championship.

Level AA - also known as Tier II - offers a high level of competition for skilled players in the Pee Wee, Bantam and Midget levels. These teams also compete for State, Regional and Tier II National Championship.

Level A - is for experienced players seeking more competitive play. 

Level BB - is for players with experience at the B level, want a higher level of competition, but are not quite ready for level A. BB is only available at the Mite, Squirt, Pee Wee and Bantam divisions. 

Level B - is for players just learning to play the game and wishing to compete in a fun environment. This level is available at all age divisions.

Springfield teams apply to Missouri Hockey in St. Louis for acceptance at the level for which they judge themselves to be qualified.

  The Springfield Jr. Spirit Squirts competed this year in Missouri
Hockey's B1 level, facing teams from St. Louis, Jefferson City, and
Springfield IL. The squirt level is generally 9-10 year olds, however our
team was a unique blend that made what we accomplished during our season
exceptional.
  Our team is composed of 13 players--Jake Badovanic, Dylan Ball, McKalee
Beard, Noah Boggs, Nancy Fairbank, Colton Kastrup, Zach LaBroad, Ricky
Morsovillo, Brandon Moon, David Rapelje, Jason Sippy, Phillip Solari, and
Drew Thomas. Of these 13 players, only 6 had ever played competitive
hockey before. The remainder came to the Jr. Spirit from Jordan Valley Ice
Park's house program. Of these 13 players, 4 were also still of Mite age
(6-8 year olds) who played up at the Squirt level and two are girls.
  We finished our regular season in 3rd place in our nine team league. We
entered our end of season tournament seeded 3rd, where we won our first
round 3-2 against the Springfield IL Kings. We then went on to upset the
second seed, the Kirkwood Stars, in the semi-finals in a 4-3 victory. We
faced the 1st place Affton Americans in the championship, and what a
battle it was! We tied 4 - 4 in regulation time, dominated the 4 minute
overtime period but could not connect with the winning goal and remained
at 4 - 4, and in the end lost the game in a shoot out. We ended our season
with a league record of 12 wins, 6 losses and 1 tie.
  The Jr. Spirit Squirts are lead by Co-Captains Zach LaBroad and Jason
Sippy and Assistant Captain Phillip Solari. They are coached by Jeff Sippy
(head coach), Mike LaBroad, Dan Kastrup, David Rapelje, Rick Morsovillo,
and Cody Blevins.
  The Springfield Jr. Spirit Squirts are a great example of hard work and
determination. The veteran players helped to teach and encourage the
rookies, and age and skill level never mattered to these boys and girls.
They are a "team" in every sense of the word, competitive on the ice and
the best of friends throughout it all. Even though they technically lost
in the finals of the end-of-season tournament, their accomlishments that
got them there are truly a victory.

  The SYHA Pee Wee team (ages 11-12) also became Missouri State Champions
on Sunday February 26th by beating the Jefferson City Capitals 3-1 in the
championship game. In addition to winning the state championship, the team
finished the season undefeated in league and tournament play accumulating
a record of 17 wins 0 losses and 4 ties. The Springfield Youth Hockey
Association is in just its 5th year of existence, and the Pee Wee team
played against teams from other associations that have been in existence
far longer and have deep hockey traditions making this truly a remarkable
accomplishment. Congratulations to each team member on this significant
achievement!
