The Toms River Blackhawks Mite ADM program is a developmental ice hockey program for 6U/8U Mite players that follows the principals of USA Hockey's American Development Model (ADM). The ADM is a nationwide player development program for youth hockey associations. It is based on age-appropriate, age-specific competition and training for boys and girls, beginning with their first steps onto the ice and carrying them through age 18 and beyond.
