The Warroad hockey programs, from skater tots to high school, are one of THE BEST in the State of Minnesota.  It’s because of a long-standing tradition to keep hockey affordable for kids of all ages along with the support of hockey families and the greater Warroad community.  Our motto is “Come Early.  Stay Late.  Skate Every Day.” 

Proceeds of the Warroad Celebrity Golf Tournament will be applied to enhance and strengthen hockey programs at every level. Your continued support is appreciated!
