Sticks in Stillwater Mite/U8 Hockey Festival 2020
Hello Past Participant at Sticks in Stillwater Mites/U8 Festival:
We want to let you know that we will be taking a hiatus from the Mites/U8 Festival in 2020 in Stillwater.
Instead, we are planning to be involved with some special skating and hockey events at CHS Field in St. Paul to help celebrate the historic 40th Anniversary of “Miracle on Ice”. Forty years ago, our country was treated to an inspiring gold-medal winning performance by our young Americans and they were coached by the legendary Herb Brooks.
Keep an eye out for more information about these events as we approach the winter months. Thank you for your past support and participation.
Sticks in Stillwater Mite/U8 Hockey Festival - January 12-13, 2019
Sticks in Stillwater is one of the largest 3v3 Mite Festivals in the Midwest and is produced with the help of the Herb Brooks Foundation for the benefit of youth hockey. New this year, the festival will also be providing a scholarship to the Josh Gunderson Memorial Fund which supports local hockey players who need additional financial assistance to skate.
As 70+ teams and approximately 6,000 hockey fans descend on the City of Stillwater and the St. Croix Valley, Minnesota once again showcases its commitment to healthy living, youth programming and its love for the game of hockey! We invite you to become a part of the 4th annual event as we celebrate many of Minnesota’s own hockey greats and good old fashioned outdoor youth hockey!
Any proceeds after expenses will benefit the Herb Brooks Foundation to help make hockey accessible and affordable to all kids.
3v3 Mite Festival Fees
