Objective: This is primarily to provide a place for our Mites to keep playing hockey in the off season. Will focus on skill building while enjoying the game. Structured and moderated hockey games preceded by 15-20 minutes of warm up and skating drills. The intention is to build basic skills and put them into play once a week.
Cost: I am working on two sessions.
Session 1 is 6 Wednesday (5/20-6/24), all near 6-7pm in Minneapolis, Richfield and Edina. $90.
Session 2 is 5 Wednesday (7/1-7/29), all near 6-7pm in Minneapolis, Richfield and Edina. $80.
Session 3 coming soon
There will be a 10% discount if signing up for both session 1 and 2.
There will be a one time admin fee of $30. This will help for the purchase of two jerseys for each player. One light in color, the other dark. Each player will get two jerseys so we can mix up teams and it is easy for players to identify their team members. Jerseys will have player name and number. As long as players have both jerseys there will never be another admin fee.
Players: Limited to 30 hockey players and 2 goalies. We would like to find 2 goalies that want more in goal experience. There will be a goalie coach at some of the skate times. Players will need their USAHockey annual dues current (this is also required by you local hockey association).
Coach: There will be two on ice coaches/facilitators. 2 or more on the bench to facilitate flow. Coaches will have to be USAHockey Level 1 certified.
Waivers: A waiver will be required to play and coach.
Purpose: My goal is to create hockey opportunities for youth players. Unlike most sports hockey has a lot of requirements and playing year round is difficult. I want to make it easy for kids to play/skate once a week and affordable for parents. I have a strong passion for the game and play a lot myself. Most summer programs are $400/month. This will be much more affordable and the commitments are short. It will be easy to take a month off and come back the following month.

We just heard about an interesting job, not hockey, but if its on skates we want to help promote it.
Roller Derby Coach needed, details below.
Minnes is currently working on finding a team coach for the All Stars?
and we need everyone’s help to get the word out.
Before we buy billboards and those airplanes that drag banners
around, we want to keep it grass-roots and use our league’s own giant
network. Not only is it cheaper, but word of mouth is probably more
effective at finding the derby enthusiast we are looking for.
Below you will find the application instructions & all-star coach job
description. Please ask your friends, cousins, & co-workers if they
or someone they know would like to help lead our All Stars to victory
on the national and possibly intergalactic level. As mentioned in
the job description, skating skills and prior coaching experience are
a plus but not required.
