The Hendrickson Foundation Festival is on May 30th - June 1st at the Blaine SuperRink. If you have never attended here are the highlights:
Because the festival organizers require rosters for this event, all players that are attending must register before April 20th. If players do not register before this date, they will not have access to the list of highlights mentioned above but will still be able to attend your team games. Your registration will also help organize the jamboree style games on Sunday.
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 in off the ice/bench roles. This is very important to ensure a successful event for our players. More information on this will be coming soon.
Families on outstate teams (rink to rink over 75 miles away) 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 this will be sent to those teams.
More information about the entire festival can be found here: https://www.hendricksonfoundation.com/national-hockey-festival/
More information about MSH participating in the festival can be found here: https://www.mnspecialhockey.org/hendricksonfestival
Each team participating will be required to create a donation gift basket or item for auction. Please think of some great ideas! Contact Jane Cashin at jane@mnspecialhockey.org if you are willing to take the lead on this for your team.
Please fill out this registration to ensure a fun filled hockey weekend in May/June! If you do not get an email receipt that you registered you did not complete the registration.
