Every year during the spring, the DinoMights organization brings in kids ages seven and eight (1st and 2nd grade) from Minneapolis and St. Paul to teach them how to ice skate. During this six week program they teach kids the basics of skating in a very inclusive and encouraging environment.

Skating for the first time, which is the case for most of the kids they serve, can be a very anxious task. With the help of the DinoMights staff and many amazing volunteers they help minimize any self doubts about stepping into the unfamiliar world of hockey.  Their smiles and confidence grow throughout the course of the program and, if you volunteer, you will be a part of many unforgettable and important moments that these kids can share and experience for the rest of their lives.

Although there are still many barriers that prevent kids from being able to join the world of hockey, DinoMights provides a solution by bringing in kids from areas that often get overlooked to both participate in and enjoy our Learn 2 Skate program.

The DinoMights are seeking groups and individuals to volunteer to help tie skates, and to give a hand on the ice. They hope to see you!

Date is set for Friday, July 28, 2023

Our 11th Annual Foundation Charity Golf Tournament will be held on Friday, July 28, at beautiful Pheasant Hills golf course in Hammond, WI.  Visit their web site =>> HERE.

We are back at it again this year and will continue our efforts to bring hockey to kids that may not be able to take part otherwise.  We are expanding our support to other charitable organizations as well.   

We are making the price very affordable again this year at $85 for an individual ($75 early bird special).  It’s a great value for a great cause.  Dinner is included.

Check this link to the 2023 .pdf version of the tournament flier =>> HERE.

With your help, we have now sent Over 350 Kids in need to hockey camp over the last 10 years.  We had a more difficult time this past summer getting interest in our MHM-run camp in Baldwin as more and more local youth hockey organizations are putting on their own camps.  Numbers were down so it looks like our own yearly camp has run it’s course.  With that we made a large donation to the widely recognized Minneapolis DinoMights hockey organization.  Check them out ==> HERE.  We will look to expand on that donation this year and consider others as well.

Please consider participating and talk to your golfing buddies and hockey friends.  There will still be prizes and on-course events with a shotgun start.

If you are interested in sponsoring a hole, there are several levels of corporate sponsorships available.  Just contact Scott at scott@mnhockeymag.com or call 715-222-6460.

PUT IT ON YOUR CALENDAR!
