DISTRICT: 4 2015-16 REGISTRATION NUMBERS: 237 PRESIDENT: Beth Kline 06 STATE OF HOCKEY SPOTLIGHT 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." HOCKEY ASSOCIATION MINNESOTAHOCKEYJOURNAL.COM // MARCH.2016 New Ulm- Sleepy eye
