1.  Da Beauty League Registration – closes on Monday, August 14th

Once again MN Special Hockey has been invited to skate between two Da Beauty League playoff games on Monday August 21st!!! 

Players must be in the Braemar Arena locker room area before 5:30, skating will be around 7:00 (after the 6:00 game) for a short few minutes.

This registration is for entering your name in the drawing to skate with Da Beauty League.  Filling out this registration does NOT guarantee a spot to skate, just to get in the drawing.

  • There will be 12 players allowed.
  • If we have more than 12 registered players we will have a drawing.
  • Skaters that played in a previous Da Beauty event may not be eligible.

More information about Da Beauty League can be found here:  https://www.dabeautyleague.com/home

Registration for the drawing closes at midnight on Monday, August 14th.  If your name is drawn to skate, you must reply to an email on Thursday the 17th confirming that you will be there on Monday the 21st.  If you do not reply in time, you will lose your spot to another player.

Do you have a personal connection with any of the Da Beauty players?  Coaches, are you interested in helping at this game?  Please contact Jane Cashin with that information!  jane@mnspecialhockey.org or 612-581-4483.

It's almost time for player and volunteer registration for the 2023-24 season!  Now is a great time to start the registration requirements for the season.

All players, coaches and volunteers must be COMPLETELY registered before getting on the ice or any team involvement. This includes SafeSport Training and Background checks.  Anyone can get their USA Hockey Confirmation Number right away and then complete these very important next steps.  Notice for the MN Special Hockey Registration will come soon.

3. Summer Clinics

MSH is offering Summer Hockey Clinics for Special Hockey registered players. These are skill based, skating, passing, and shooting drills. Each session might end with some sort of a game, but more than likely will not be a typical scrimmage.  Clinic locations are Lakeville, St. Louis Park and St. Cloud.

Registration for the Lakeville clinic is closed but is still open for St. Cloud and St. Louis Park.  Players who register by August 20th will receive a jersey in time for the St. Cloud clinic and players who register by September 3rd will receive a jersey for the St. Louis Park clinic.   The cost of the jersey is $40 (collected at registration time).  The jersey will be really cool and well worth the $40 along with a lot of quality ice time!  The jerseys are handed out at the clinic.  

Lakeville Clinic at Ames Arena (Rink 2) - Sundays, July 30th - August 27th at 3:00.

St. Cloud Clinic at MAC Ice Arena - September 10th at 2:00 - 3:15pm and September 17th at 10:45am - 12:00pm.  

St. Louis Park Clinic at SLP Rec Center (West Rink) - Sundays, October 1st - 29th at 10:30 or 11:30 depending on Skill Level.  October 8th ice time is at 10:00 or 11:00 (East Rink)

With every registration of this type you will receive a confirmation email once your registration is complete.  If you do not receive a confirmation email you did not complete the registration correctly.
