Date set for Oct. 5th

The annual Minnesota Special Hockey Season Kickoff Skate at Mariucci Arena, has been scheduled for October 5th from 2-4pm. MNSH Players and their families are invited to Mariucci Arena to skate on the Gophers home ice. 

Be sure to represent your team by wearing your team jersey or other MNSH apparel. If you know someone who might want to play special hockey, invite them to attend. As always, all skaters are required to wear helmets and must either be registered with USA Hockey or sign a Waiver of Liability. Also, this is a fun skate so no sticks and pucks are allowed. 

Before we hit the ice, there will be a short general counsel meeting with some MNSH news announcements, board member intros, items to vote on and a player welcome.

You can enter Mariucci from 4th street at the yellow arrow as indicated on the map below. Go down the stairs on your left to the bottom level and you will walk right to the locker rooms and space where we put on our skates. There is ample parking around the arena (especially on Sundays) and those areas have been marked with the Parking sign on the map below.

In the past, MNSH players have gotten to skate alongside Goldy, Golden Gopher Hockey cheerleaders and Womens hockey players. This annual event continues to grow in popularity as MNSH grows. Come down early, chat with old friends and meet new players and families.
