Saturday, December 14 is Hockey Day Coon Rapids! 

This is a great day full of hockey fun, and also serves as an important fundraiser for the booster clubs. And we are expecting extra fans this year because the City of Coon Rapids is also hosting its Tree Lighting ceremony at CRIC that day from 3:30-6:00pm with food, Santa, and fireworks!

Partnership with Alexandra House

The festivities for Hockey Day will kick off the weekend before on Sunday, December 8 with the boys and girls teams coming together at CRIC at 6pm to make fleece pet beds to be donated to Alexandra House. Alexandra House is a domestic violence shelter and advocacy organization based in Blaine (https://www.alexandrahouse.org/). They have recently started accepting pets at their shelter and are excited about having our teams make cozy pet beds to help their families in crisis. A representative from Alexandra House will be at CRIC on the 8th to give a brief 15 minute overview of their organization before the activity begins. Pizza will be provided for the players - we are hoping to have all of the players there that night to help make the pet beds. The pet beds will be presented to a representative from Alexandra House in between the girls and boys Varsity games on Hockey Day.

Volunteers on Hockey Day

This event takes a LOT of volunteer support to pull off. Please consider donating some of your time to make this day a success. Parents from both the boys and girls side will be asked to volunteer. The Sign-up Genius Link for Hockey Day can be found here: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/20F084CABAD2DA6F94-53401318-hockey 

Donations Needed

Hockey Day is not only a fun day of outdoor hockey, but it is also a fundraiser for both the boys and girls booster clubs. We need silent auction items, bake sale items, and gift card donations! The silent auction and bake sale were a hit last year, and the gift card bundle raffle also went very well. So if you have extra unused gift cards laying around your house, we will take them! 

• Silent auction items and gift cards should be brought to the rink as part of the pet bed making event on Sunday, December 8. Items can be dropped off from 6-8pm that night.
• Bake sale items should be dropped off at CRIC in the upstairs conference room on Saturday, December 14 from 10-11am.

Coon Rapids Alumni Game

If you have family or friends who are CR or CPCR hockey alumni, please let them know about the alumni game, which will take place from 2:50-4:10pm on Hockey Day on the indoor rink at CRIC. Jerseys will be provided, boys and girls alumni are both invited to play (game will be non-checking), and pizza will be served to alumni players after the game. The link to register can be found here: https://slpcrhsockey.sportngin.com/register/form/921356562
