Welcome to the North Valley Ice Bandits! We are a locally operated hockey organization based out of East Grand Forks, MN.
Our mission is building a better hockey experience, one player at a time! We provide a convenient and affordable spring/summer hockey option for enthusiastic and dedicated hockey players and families in eastern North Dakota and northwestern Minnesota. We provide a spring/summer hockey experience where players can continue to develop their skills and passion for the game while playing in a competitive setting.
The spring/summer season for our Ice Bandits teams will consist of three (3) area tournaments and 10-12 hours of ice time. The area tournaments we participate in are primarily located in Minnesota, North Dakota and South Dakota.
Additionally, we provide 10-12 hours of ice time for player development throughout the spring/summer season. Ice time for development can include practice sessions, scrimmages and exhibition games. We implement a practice plan that includes individual skill development along with team concepts development to provide our players with a well-rounded experience.
Our teams will begin the spring portion of the season in mid-March and will conclude by mid-May. The summer portion of the schedule will start up in August and conclude in early September. Schedules will vary by team and will depend on the tournaments we participate in.
