Beginning skaters will learn the basic skills necessary to move into figure skating, hockey or speedskating as their maturity and interest level progresses. Herb Brooks, former coach of the Gophers, NHL Teams and the 1980 Olympic Gold Medal Hockey Team brings his coaching expertise to the Super Rink. Brooks is assisted by top area hockey instructors. The program consists of three ten week classes and is open to girls and boys, Pee Wees, Squirts and Bantams and places emphasis on teaching the fundamentals of hockey in a way that is most conducive to learning. Seniors are invited to enjoy a sport that is both energizing, and a great way to meet new people who want to be active and get the most out of life.
Music is provided.
Adults of all ages are invited to participate in long-blade and recreational skating. The Super Rink hosts some of the state's largest tournaments. The All American Girls' and Women's Ice Hockey Tournament, the largest female hockey event in the USA, the USA International Hockey Cup and the National Junior B Tournament will be at the Super Rink during the winter of 1998-1999. Other tournaments at the Super Rink will be the 2001 World Women's Hockey Championship, youth hockey tournaments, men's and women's tournaments and girl's high school holiday tournament featuring sixteen teams. Those skaters who have mastered the basic techniques, and desire more coaching and the opportunity to compete, will want to join the NSC-Based Figure Skating Club.
