The North American Hockey League (NAHL) is pleased to announce that
two of its member teams will take part in the 2014 Hockey Day in
Minnesota festivities.
Hockey Day in Minnesota will take place on Saturday, January 18th,
2014 at Handke Pit (outdoor rink) in Elk River, Minnesota, and it will
feature an NAHL regular season game featuring the Minnesota Wilderness
and the Coulee Region Chill at 7:15pm.
Prior to the NAHL contest, there will be three Minnesota high school games played on the outdoor sheet that day.
Hockey Day Minnesota (HDM) is a day run in cooperation with the
Minnesota Wild and Fox Sports North that features over 21 hours of
consecutive hockey-related programming from pee-wees to the pros. Now in
its eighth season, Hockey Day has become a Minnesota tradition as a
celebration of Minnesota's hockey community and what some would describe
as a way of life in the “State of Hockey.”
Handke Pit, affectionately known as “The Pit” is a natural,
glacier-formed bowl stadium that has been the home rink to thousands of
hockey players from beginners to NHL stars for more than a century.
Officially dedicated in 1925 and enlarged under the Roosevelt
Administration’s New Deal, the pit is proudly listed on the National
Registry of Historic Sites. A winter wonderland for skaters, sled riders
and hockey players, you will not find a more beautiful outdoor hockey
setting in Minnesota.
The 2014 Hockey Day in Minnesota Schedule is as follows (all games at Handke Pit in Elk River unless otherwise noted):
10:15am - Rochester Lourdes vs. Cloquet (Boys)
1:00pm - Elk River vs. Stillwater (Boys)
