WHY THEY'RE AWESOME
This youth hockey association isn't solely about one community—instead it brings
together two. It's about two towns dead center in southern Minnesota banding
together to grow the game.
As Mini-Mites and Mites, players stay within their own communities. But
from Squirts on up, they combine as one group
"We joined forces back in 2011 and since then it's been great as far as the
teamwork that's been involved to get everything merged together," Mike
Peterson, hockey operations committee director for NUSE, said. "Two separate
communities came together as one. Obviously there were some reservations
about it in the beginning. But at this point now, it's been fantastic. It's a
combination of everybody working together."
