How early are the practices in youth hockey?

A typical weekly practice looks like this:

5:00 - 6:00 Mite/Squirt
6:00 - 7:00 Squirt/Pee Wee
8:00 - 9: 00 Bantam
9:00 - 10:00 High School

Because of the age level we try to keep younger kids at earlier times because of school, but on some instances these times can be adjusted if need be. Weekends vary throughout the day usually. Practices usually run about 1 - 1 1/2 hours a night.

House league usually practices early Saturday mornings at 6:45 - 8:00 and Wednesday early evenings around 5:45pm. These practice times are usually for about 2 - 3 hours per week.
