Jennifer and Chris Miles have offered a Saturday night, co-ed, open skate at St. Thomas for the last several summers.
It's baaaack - and better than ever, with a change to Friday nights.
Skates will start on April 21st and run through October 27th. There are 27 sessions this summer.
This is a co-ed, no checking, pick-up hockey game. Ability levels vary, and Jen and Chris welcome all levels - you have to be a little flexible with your expectations. I would say the typical skater is an AHA level D1-C1/WHAM C2-B2, with definite exceptions on either side of that range. I'm a WHAM C3 skater and it's a little fast for me, but I like the challenge.
Here are their other details:
1. Pay for the entire summer (all 27 sessions) for $236
2. Pay for each month
April / May $57.00
June $47.50
July $38.00
August $38.00
September $47.50
October $28.50
3. Pay per time $10.00
They would prefer to have payment either in full or monthly so they don't have to chase you down after each session. You can send a sub in your place as they offer NO refunds for missed times.
You might have noticed that the prices are up. They are not out to make money on this just to break even - the arena has raised their ice fees, therefore, they had to bump up theirs.
Goalies skate FREE!
Skater limits:
They will limit it to 22 skaters again this year. Its not a science so sometimes they are short and other times they have a few extra. Please bear with them on this.
Rules:
Jen says she hates them as much as you, but they do have some knuckle heads that occasionally show up.
1. NO checking
2. NO fighting
Jen says "Ok that covers it. Try to keep your shifts short. I won't time you, but your bench mates might."
CYA stuff:
All of you are smart enough to know that you run risk of injury when you play. Play at your own risk.
Kids can skate BUT they must be at least 2nd year Peewee and you are responsible for them.
How to sign up:
Send her an email with what option you want to sign up for. Then send a check made payable to Jennifer Miles at 3940 17th Avenue South, Minneapolis, MN 55407.
