Minnetonka Hockey lost a brother today. Mack Motzko was loved by everyone who knew him and we are thankful for his friendship, character, and kind heart. We love you Mack and we are sending out our sympathies to our teammate Beau and the rest of the Motzko family.
Skippers are the 2023 MSHSL State Champions! I can’t think of a kinder, more talented, hard working, and respectful young men. YOU EARNED IT.
Your school, families, and community love you! 💙

#roadtostate
Several great teaching points here:
1) Zone entry routes to net
2) Stopping at near & far posts
3) Taking away eyes of the goalie with net front presence
4) Weak side defenseman activating to create additional attacker
5) Pass across the golden road
6) Head up & Hitting the net
KIDS: Stopping at the net is one of the best offensive habits you can have. On this goal, Radulov and Klingberg make great plays but you can argue that it doesn't go in without Seguin stopping at the net and providing traffic on Rinne. Great job by a great player!!
We are excited and proud to introduce our ‘23-‘24 captains! These team-first guys will do a great job leading the upcoming Skipper crew. Congrats to Hagen, Gavin, and John! 🏒Ⓜ️⚓️

Danny Klaers (Minnetonka - 2025) has committed to Notre Dame. The athletic d-man has had a meteoric rise this summer skating for Team USA in the Five Nations tournament.
He had 13 points on the blue line for the state champion Skippers last year.
It’s ⏰ for some goalie 💙! WTG Hunter on these current stats and records! A humble kid who knows he couldn’t do it without his goalie partners and team! On Mondays, he stays at the rink to coach the Tonka Mite goalies who are just starting to learn the way!
