On Sunday, December 23 Crookston girls hockey players were invited to the third annual outdoor/pond hockey skate on Aunt Polly’s Slough. This year, the Crookston 8U team hosted the Red Lake Falls 8U team on the slough. It was a day of fun, filled with a scrimmage, skating on the two rinks, watching the homemade Zamboni, sledding, warming up by the fires, snacking, and skating on the ice trail that was made on the slough! Mickey Kaiser and Tim Perrson have coached the girls 8U program for several years and most of the 8U-12U girls have had them as a coach at one point. They and their families put a lot of time and work into this event by making rinks and skating trails, making a large windbreak with benches and a table full of food, hauling benches and nets. Food was provided for the event by Tim and Mickey, and Brent Epema of B&E Meats brings his grill and serves hot dogs, brats, and burgers. Scott and Tom McDonald made the Zamboni for the event. The Crookston Fire Department delivered water to fill the Zamboni. Some pictures from the event are below.
