🏒 The State of Hockey — Built by Community. 🏒

From backyard rinks to college arenas and the NHL — it all starts right here in our local associations.

💥 Minnesota Hockey by the Numbers:
✅ 18,500+ Mite/8U players lacing up every winter
✅ More than 55,000 total players across the state
✅ Over 300 NHL players from Minnesota since 2000 (23% of all American NHL Draftees)
✅ Minnesota made up 40% of all American players in the PWHL (20 out of 54 American players)
✅ Nearly 500+ Division I players
✅ And thousands more competing in Junior and Division III hockey

These numbers aren’t just stats — they’re proof of what happens when a community comes together to grow the game the right way. ❤️🏒

We believe in local hockey, community hockey — because nobody does it better than Minnesota.
