1. Hendrickson Foundation Festival – June 2, 3, 4 – Registration closes April 14th


Hopefully everyone is looking forward to another fun filled hockey weekend at the Hendrickson Foundation Festival.  The festival is on June 2nd, 3rd and 4th at the Blaine SuperRink. If you have never attended here are the highlights:

  • Three games for every player.  Metro teams will play on Friday evening.  The Outstate teams will have 2 games on Saturday.  The Metro teams will have 1 game on Saturday.  All registered players will play jamboree style games on Sunday morning/afternoon. 
  • Party with food, drink, games and music - Saturday afternoon and evening
  • Special Olympics jump tank to raise money for Minnesota Special Hockey and Special Olympics
  • Swag bag filled with cool stuff
  • HF apparel for sale
  • Volunteer opportunities
Because the festival organizers require rosters for this event, all players who are attending must register before April 14th.  If players do not register before this date, they will not have access to the list of highlights mentioned above.  They will likely still be able to attend the games, but registration also helps organize the games.

MN Special Hockey will also be looking for volunteers at all of our games!  You do not have to be a registered volunteer to volunteer off the ice/bench.  This is very important to ensure a successful event for our players.  More information on this will be coming along with the schedule once registration closes.

Families on outstate teams will be reimbursed up to $150 for their travel expenses.  You will be required to fill out a form and send receipts to the MN Special Hockey Treasurer.  More information on hotels has been sent to outstate teams.  If your team didn't receive this information, please contact Holly Tchida at holly.tchida@mnspecialhockey.org.

Please fill out this registration by April 14th to ensure a fun filled hockey weekend in June!
