Welcome to the North Valley Ice Bandits!  We are a locally operated hockey organization based out of East Grand Forks, MN.

Our goal is to 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 aim to provide a spring/summer hockey experience where players can continue to develop their skills and passion for the game while competing in area tournaments.  Additionally, we strive to provide a fun and positive atmosphere on and off the ice where players and families can build lasting relationships with each other.

Our organization understands that hockey is a competitive and emotional sport for players and their families.  With that said, our emphasis is not placed on winning or losing.  Rather, we emphasize the importance of learning and growing the love of the game!  We strive to be competitive and put our teams and players in positions that they will compete well and have success.  The underlying emphasis is to provide a positive atmosphere where players can learn and develop their skills, no matter the outcome of games and tournaments.

The spring/summer hockey season for the North Valley Ice Bandits starts with the spring portion of the season that begins in late March and may run through early June.  The summer portion of the schedule will start up in August and run through early September.  The tournament schedule will include 3 or 4 spring/summer hockey tournaments.  The tournaments will primarily be located in North Dakota and Minnesota.  Ice time for practices and scrimmages are included.  We aim to provide between 10 to 15 hours of ice time in addition to the tournaments.
