Welcome to all players, parents and fans of Crookston youth hockey.

The brackets and team pairings for the PeeWee A, PeeWee B, Bantam A and Bantam B are now listed.

Under the "handout" menu link, then click "tournament brackets" and from there you can choose which one you wish to view.

They are also listed on the individual team pages.

As soon as the rest become available they will be added.

Remember POWER SKATING will be held on Wednesday's all season.

This is at no extra charge for all Crookston youth hockey skaters.

Starting on Wednesday Dec 10th, there will be a change in scheduled times......

7:00-7:45pm   10U/Peanuts

8:00-8:45pm   Squirts/PeeWee

9:00-9:45pm    14U/Bantam

Due to the number of kids and the various levels of skating skills the instructors have asked for this change in order to promote safety for all skaters.

PLEASE CHECK ARENA SCHEDULE FOR TIMES EACH WEEK.

Also note that if you are unable to skate during your time, you are most welcome and encouraged to come at another one of the times that night.

All power skating sessions are HIGHLY RECOMMENDED by all coaches. The power skating times should be viewed as another practice for that week.  This practice time is very important in the developement of your skating skills and your ability to participate at a high level for an entire game.

Attention all parents of Peanut players. The sign up sheets are up at the arena for Wednesday evenings. Please check the list and sign up for a shift or two per player.

We would like to say a big Thank You to all of our sponsors. Without their continued support we would not be able to maintain our current level of youth hockey. We encourage you to check the sponsors link and browse through all the businesses that support our youth hockey program here in Crookston. We also encourage you to patronize their place of business and let them know you appreciate their continued support for our youth hockey program.

The concession stand is the Blue Line Club's biggest fund raiser.

 Monies raised through the concession stand are used for the purchase of but not limited to:   new jerseys, helmets, breezers., goalie equipment,  tournament registration fees, and a power skating coach to name a few.  Without the concession stand the hockey registration fees would be considerably higher.

Working the concession stand is considered and accounted as part of your Blue Line Club registration fees.  We require you to purchase the raffle tickets,  and you may recoup some of your money, if you so choose by selling to friends and family. A parent/guardian is required to work in the concession stand.  You are required to put in at least 5 times per child per team (this all depends on the number of kids on the team and the number of games that are scheduled during your session of working.)

If you choose not to work, know that you will be charged $37.50 per time you do not work (with the maximum amount of $150.00 per child).  This does not include your home tournament.  Tournament time in the concession stand is extra (it's over and above your required 5 times).

If for whatever reason you cannot work at a scheduled time you can call upon others to help you out.  The Peanut parents can be called on to work for you if needed.   Coach Persson and Coach Bittner have made the high school boys and girls available to help out.  You need to contact one of them and make arrangments for them to help you out.  If you sign up for a time, and you are unable to serve, you cannot remove your name unless you have gotten someone else either within your team or someone outside of your team to cover for you.

All parents with kids in levels squirts/10U through bantam/14U are required to work.

Peanut paretns will be required to work during their own peanut jamboree later in the year, and starting in December they will be working on Wednesday evenings.

Sign up sheets will be posted on the wall by the concession stand door.

You may contact the concession stand managers with any questions: Brenda Bozyk @ 281-6287 (h) or 281-0559 (w) or Brenda Kaiser @ 281-3958 (h) or 281-4168 (w).

PROTECTING THE LEGACY.......................

The city of Crookston, the Crookston Blue Line Club ,the Crookston Figure Skating Club, Crookston High School Hockey, Crookston Park District, and the University of Minnesota Crookston, are pleased to be working with the Minnesota Northwest Foundation on the new arena project.

Whether you are new to the community, you have been a lifelong resident , you have graduated and moved on, or even if you are just a fan of hockey, we hope you will consider making a donation to this project.

It is an exciting time for the city and also for the hockey community. It is our hopes and dreams to continue with the great hockey tradition we have always had here in Crookston. We not only want this to used for hockey, but also to be used by the whole community for various events. This can and will be a facility we can be proud of and can use the entire year by all members of our community.

Our official fundraising campaign will begin the first week of October. We have set a goal of 2 million dollars for this campaign. This money will get us some of the extras we need to make this facility the best it can be.
