Plans for our 2026 MN Thundercats program are now under way.
Our primary goal is to continue developing our players and improving their fundamental hockey skills. We are looking to expand our teams and provide multiple teams in each age group, especially at the younger levels.
Also on our list for summer 2026 is to expand our girls program by having both a 10u girls and 8u girls team.
In addition, we want to have competitive game play that brings out the best in our players and improves their overall game awareness.

Many of our teams are in need of goalies for next summer's program, especially at the younger ages. We offer goalie training during our summer program and provide a fun environment for goalies to develop their game and be more than just shooting targets during practices.
If you are looking for a different experience for your goalie next summer, please contact us below to find out more!
Summer PREP hockey is offered by some programs as a way to continue developing skills for player who are too young for full-ice summer tournaments, but have an interest in continuing to develop over the summer.
If you are interested in leading a PREP hockey program for MN Thundercats next summer, please send us a note below and we will be happy to discuss. PREP for next summer will primarily be 2018, 2019 and some 2020 birthdays.
