My friends and I have organized some ice time at the Parade Hockey Rink. We will be playing on the smaller rink next Monday, Jan 28th, at 9:30pm. Since it’s on the smaller rink we’ll be playing 3 on 3. We plan on making this a more regular event and eventually moving to a full size ice surface. If you or someone you know would like to join us please let me know. The skill level is yet to be determined (since I haven’t played with these guys yet). We do have some players who are just getting back into playing so this will not be extremely competitive.

I think we’re also short a goalie at this point so if you play goal you can get in some free playing time and meet some new people!!!

Check that…we have two goalies!!!

Minneapolis Shinny Hockey

Filed Under: Looking For A Game, Minneapolis, Shinny    by: derrikd

Don and I are putting together a group of players that want to play once or twice a month. This will be Shinny Hockey

Basically we are thinking of renting the smaller rink at Parade
($75/hr).

Planning on wearing most normal hockey gear from the waist down (your choice), helmet, maybe elbow pads.

No checking

One of the group thinks he can round up some goalies.

If you are interested please let us know.

The player list is of all skill levels. We are doing this for fun!

Minneapolis Mini Mites

My good friend Don who is also my tennis partner started the HockeyIsOurGame.com and asked for some of my help.

While I have not played hockey for roughly 20 years, let alone skated, my kids Griffin and Gavin are Mini Mites for the Washburn Hockey Association. I thought I would share some of their photos and also help promote the Washburn Hockey Association.
