COACHES CORNER HARD DIVIDERS & JUNIOR GOALS Many teams across the state have already hit the ice, and that means our Coach Education Programs (CEP) are in full swing. CEP clinics are being held now through December at locations throughout Minnesota. Remember, coaches must attend one clinic each year until they at least reach a Level 3 certification by USA Hockey. The age-appropriate training modules have been posted online and starting this season the modules must be completed before taking the ice. Interested in learning more about long-term athlete development or how to coach goalies? Our Minnesota Hockey Player Development Team offers additional instruction sessions at no cost to you or your association. Our talented team of coaches will come directly to your association to host these two-part clinics that provide classroom and on-ice instruction.

The hard ice dividers, along with junior size goal frames, have been instrumental in the growth of cross- and half-ice games across the country as more and more youth programs have embraced age-appropriate skill development. Minnesota Hockey affiliated associations that register to purchase a "hard divider" system for the 2017-18 season can apply for a $2,500 subsidy through the program. Associations that take advantage of the hard ice divider subsidy will also be able to purchase the junior goal frames (see right for comparison) at the following prices: two goal frames for $440, four goal frames for $880 or six goal frames for $1,320. A total of 59 associations from all over the state have taken advantage of the discount and now utilize more than 70 sets of dividers in their community arenas. 2017-18 What a Mite/8U goalie looks like in the different sized nets.
