2026 Mites Mania Participants

Our Team Fundraising Page

We're raising money for Capital Cup for Kids!

Mites from around the region will be hitting the ice on Thursday, April 30th from 7:15pm - 8:30pm at the Albany County Hockey Facility as part of Capital Cup for Kids' 2026 Mites Mania event.  

Capital Cup for Kids is an adult hockey event that raises funds in support of Building on Love, Capital Cup for Kids, Make A Wish of NE NY and other great local charities. These organizations rally around local families caring for a seriously ill child.

Mites Mania is organized by local teens who love hockey and giving back to their community.  They raise funds for a specific family whose child is battling cancer who serves as the Mites Mania Honorary Captain.

Space is limited. Register your 2017 (8-year-old), 2018 (7-year-old) or 2019 (6-year-old) Mite today.

Participants will be randomly assigned to one of 4 teams, led by certified, highly skilled coaches. Games will be 4 vs 4. All teams will play at least 3 games.

 Registration is just $20, and in keeping with the spirit of the Capital Cup for Kids, participants are encouraged to raise funds to help the Mites Mania Honorary Captain's Family.

Post game pizza will be provided.

2026 Mites Mania Benefciary - Kaylee

Mites Mania 2026 will take on special meaning this year as the event will benefit Kaylee, a remarkable high school senior from Mechanicville whose strength and spirit continue to inspire everyone around her. A senior at Mechanicville High School, Kaylee attends BOCES for cosmetology and works in beauty at JCPenney.

She is known for her huge heart, infectious laughter, and the way she always shows up for others. Recently diagnosed with T-cell leukemia, Kaylee now faces a long and challenging road of treatment.

With her mother by her side, often away from work to support her care, and a strong circle of family and friends lifting her up, our hockey family has an opportunity to rally around her. All proceeds from Mites Mania 2026 will go directly toward helping ease the financial burden on Kaylee and her family during this difficult time.
