Mankato Area Hockey Association

Hockey Day Minnesota, a partnership with the Minnesota Wild and Bally Sports North will take place the week of January 16-23rd, 2022 on the grounds of Minnesota State University at Blakeslee Field.    In past years, this event has brought 15,000 spectators just on Hockey Day, alone.  We have expanded programing to make this a seven-day winter celebration to showcase our region and bring visitors in from across the state to experience, “This is How We Hockey.”

With the goal of Hockey Day Minnesota to grow the game of hockey, we made the commitment to get every Mankato Youth Hockey Association team; a total of 450+ kids from Mites through Bantams on Hockey Day Minnesota ice.  Each will receive a Black Biscuit commemorative Hockey Day Minnesota jersey and socks.

We want to make this iconic experience legendary for our participants, spectators, and sponsors.   We have a hockey village a winter carnival like atmosphere for games, food, beverages and activities for families and spectators of all ages to enjoy throughout the week.    The detailed schedule and ticket information is located at www.hockeydaymnmankato.com.

With the 2021-2022 season starting we have had some questions come up regarding positive Covid cases within teams. Below is a link to MN Hockey Covid-19 Statement. MAHA will be utilizing this as our guidance through the season.

If you are informed of a positive case, please notify the team manager via email which they can forward to the team. Teams will determine if there are any close contacts.  If none can be confirmed, only the positive case needs to sit out. The rest of the team can continue playing. If we have a situation where several players are positive, we will reconsider the situation.

MAHA’s stance on bad weather accounts for parents to make an ultimate decision on behalf of the child. All Seasons Arena typically does not close due to poor weather, therefore MAHA does not cancel practice on poor weather days, even if school is called. However, any practices being held on days school is let out due to weather are considered “optional”, yet coaches will attend the practice time for anyone wishing to attend. Players​ ​missing​ ​such​ ​practices​ ​will​ ​NOT​ ​be​ ​subject​ ​to​ ​any​ ​team​ ​rule​ ​sanctions.

In the case of school cancellations, all non-district games will automatically be cancelled. In the case of district games, teams must follow the District 9 policy, which calls for both teams agreeing to cancel a game​ ​before​ ​it​ ​can​ ​be​ ​cancelled.
