Brrrr! Winter has arrived, and along with it comes the magic of snowy landscapes. As we embrace the chilly season, let's also keep safety in mind. Before you venture out for those exciting practices and games, here's a friendly reminder to check your team calendars and stay in the loop about potential rink closings due to the whims of Mother Nature.
Minnesota weather is as unpredictable as a breakaway goal, so it's crucial to stay updated on any changes to your schedules. Don't let the snowflakes surprise you—check your team calendars for the latest updates. Team managers and coaches will also keep you posted, so keep an eye out for messages from them.
In the event of extreme weather conditions, rink closures may happen. Stay informed by checking the AVB website or keeping an eye on our official communication channels.
Your safety is our top priority, so let's make sure this winter season is filled with cozy hockey moments and not frosty surprises on the road.
