The hockey gods are getting a good one with Francis Bierman. An amazing awesome guy, who always had a smile on his face with wholesome positivity. In a league/world filled with A holes he was always one to line up against or sit next to in the locker room to crack a joke or catchup!

Thoughts and prayers for his family.

Just because it its Sturgis Motorcycle Rally here doesnt mean we can't think about tourneys! This one looks like an absolute blast in a great location. Let's try to get a Rapid City team or free agent team from the Hills Adult Hockey League - HAHL!!!

Sunday Skate Update 🏒

Due to inconsistent participation numbers for the Sunday 5:15 PM Goal Diggers/Co-Ed skate and Co-Ed practices, we’ve decided to cancel these Sunday skates until further notice.

"Jake’s skates" (Tuesday night) will continue as scheduled, and we’re currently looking into additional ice availability on Monday or Tuesday evenings. We’ll share more details as soon as we have them!

If you prepaid for Goal Diggers or Co-Ed practices, just reach out if you’d like a partial refund. Please send us a message within 7 days.

If we don’t hear from you within that timeframe, we’ll consider it a donation toward future ice costs. We truly appreciate everyone’s support and understanding as we work to find the best schedule moving forward! ❤️🏒

ISO Goalie gear to be donated or cheap. I have a local blind hockey player in need of goalie gear. He's about 5'10" 135 lbs. and already has skates and has traveled to Minnesota in the past to compete.

Also...we have some gear he can use at Stick & Puck at the Roosevelt Park Ice Arena but we need players to help him practice too and would be cool if we can hook him up with gear of his own.

If you wanna help him practice at Stick & Puck or have some gear collecting dust let us know!!!

The pucks are larger and make sounds that allows blind and partially sighted players to track its location as it moves around the ice, and it is the single most important adaptation that makes ice hockey accessible to athletes who are blind or partially sighted.
