The big night is here! Join us TONIGHT, Friday, December 20, at 7:00 PM at the Apple Valley Sports Arena for a varsity game that’s more than just hockey—it’s a celebration of 30 years of Minnesota Girls High School Hockey and our incredible AVWH legacy.
We’ll honor the 1994–1995 AVWH Eagles, the first-ever Minnesota State High School Girls Hockey Champions, with a special on-ice ceremony between the 1st and 2nd periods.
All AVWH alumni are our honored guests and will receive free admission to the game. Alumni can reconnect with teammates, share memories, and enjoy snacks in a special gathering area. Plus, every alum in attendance will be entered into a drawing for a special prize!
Let’s pack the arena to celebrate this historic milestone and honor the team that paved the way for so many young athletes. See you tonight!
