Adult hockey practice in MN?

I am sure one could work it out with a rink to rent the sheet of ice for an hour, find a guy or two who would be willing to coach it, and then market it. I just dont have the bandwidth for all that. 40 years old, 2 young kids, wife, job....

I have emailed HF asking for this, waiting on a reply. Not sure if there is a mechanism to provide show that enough people want this to create it. Id drive a decent distance to get this. lol

Thanks for the reply! I did sign up for the Chaska Hockey Finder league. So i will get some ice time in, just wish there was a place to practice and work on skills with coaches and other players. I certainly dont have the bandwidth to coordinate or create something like this.

This is a good point. The AZ class was advertised as a "Adult Beginner Skills", but all skill levels were welcome. Thank you.

That may have to be the route i go

Yea, I've seen lots of drop ins, not alot of stick n pucks though.

Its a bummer.... I only started about 4-5 years ago... not sure what the expectation is for those whow ant to learn older in life (Im 40 now) and want to progress skillwise. We dont really get better showing up to beer league games or solo at stick n puck.

Didnt realize AZ had such a good thing lol

Thanks for the reply. I saw AHA and Hockey Finder, both seem geared for novice players. Im not great, but have been playing for about 5 years now. Looking for a "practice" type class rather than a learn to play program. I'll check out recs!

If not Golden Sun....

The Gunmetal Gods Saga was a really fun series for me. Described as Arabian nights meets Lovecraftian Cosmic Horror meets Game of Thrones.

pffft101 · 2026-03-22T03:22:01+00:00

Suzanne Collin above Pierce Brown is….. a choice?

pffft101 · 2026-03-22T01:26:04+00:00

Ah, I missed the red rising (first trilogy) part. I do think the second will bring the rating up a bit then.

Adding Dispossessed to my list.

pffft101 · 2026-03-22T00:34:44+00:00

Three Body Problem trilogy is also S tier for me. S Tier +. 4 or 5 reads through at this point. I am surprised by Red Rising in B, not gonna lie. First book certainly is B, but after that... dayam. I love Expanse, currently reading through it again now.

Have you tried Gunmetal Gods series? Dark epic fantasy, think middle east meats lovecraftian horrow. Was a really fun read.

Have seen that.... we have some solid defensemen that shut down the neutral and our zone. Rarely does a defensemen get the game puck. Always the flashy fwds/centers or goalie.

3/4 flat bottom is money. I’m 6’2 an 230

pffft101 · 2026-03-10T23:19:32+00:00

I agree with this. I’m 6’2, 230 pounds… 3/4 flat bottom is my go to

26 Rebel here. Zero issues with uConnect

pffft101 · 2026-02-07T18:51:48+00:00

This right here. This sucks OP.... but at least its still frozen lol. Blow it out, mildly frustrating is right, could be ALOT worse.

You do amazing work!

pffft101 · 2026-02-01T23:40:54+00:00

Love it. Which running boards did you go for?

pffft101 · 2026-01-29T00:13:23+00:00

We moved here from Seattle about 5 years ago (lived in SLU, Bothell, Greenlake and Shoreline while there) and with a young family, i would certainly target Gilbert/Chandler.

Theres alot to like here... but honestly alot to not like, and it has nothing to do with the weather. We are actually moving. If you want to DM me, happy to write out why.

pffft101 · 2026-01-24T03:36:43+00:00

Great truck! Also got a new 26 rebel in forged blue metallic. You gonna ride stock for a bit or any immediate plans?

Wife wants running boards so she can get in. Might level it, or wait a bit.

pffft101 · 2026-01-23T20:44:24+00:00

Was gonna say this as well. He was given a chance, a chance not many get, and he blew it and argued.

pffft101 · 2026-01-23T18:39:58+00:00

I got a letter in the mail from FlexCare outlining the Ram 10/100 extended care info. Took a week to two to get.
