    IMPORTANT Notice - Rink 2 Off-Ice Shooting Area - Helmets Required!

    HELMETS REQUIRED IN OFF-ICE SHOOTING AREA! 

    It is imperative hockey players of all ages and abilities wear appropriate protective equipment and are supervised in the Off-Ice Shooting Area. 

    The intention of the space and the new building was and is to provide a place for kids to work on their skills and finally have a place to shoot pucks both as a team practice and also as a drop-in shooting and development area.  The community aspect of the new building and facility is incredibly important and we want that to continue however, we must be diligent about the safety of our kids, regardless of age. 

    We ask for your help in holding players accountable for wearing their helmets as this is far beyond just the coaches’ responsibility alone.  Signs will be posted in the area as a reminder.

    HELMETS REQUIRED IN OFF-ICE SHOOTING AREA!

    MN Hockey Article - Early Season Points of Interest

    The first few weeks of the season are always an exciting time of the year. Every team has a blank slate and players of all ages are energized about the opportunities ahead.

    It’s also one of the most critical times of year as the tone established early on often sets the stage for the entire season. Setting the right course for the team and each player individually can help raise everyone on the team to new heights.
