MN Sled Hockey
Sled Hockey is disabled players using a sled supported on JUST TWO HOCKEY BLADES like the ones used on your skates. These athletes balance, turn and shoot with shortened sticks (one in each hand) which have small grated teeth on the butt end. These teeth are used to provide the pushing of the sled like a ski pole. This is the first time this sport has been played in this area. Come on out and support these athletes.

Sports Memorabilia Silent Auction

Closes 8pm Sat

There will be a silent auction at the  Robin featuring hockey and other sports memorabilia. The company holding this event is backed by over 25 years of experience in the memorabilia and sports collectibles business and has relationships with all of the top distributors of sports memorabilia in the industry. These consist of the distributors who actually arrange the signings with the athletes, assuring that all of our products are authentic. A portion of the monies from the auction will go to charities.


Items will be on view at all three arenas and at the banquet on Saturday night prior to the final bids. At the banquet the items from all three arenas will be displayed in a separate banquet room across from the tournament headquarters.
