Gigi Marvin Skills Clinic a success. Many girls showed up on June 5th at the National Hockey Center in St. Cloud from NHG teams to participate in the first ever GIGI MARVIN/NHG Skills Clinic.

Two 1.5 hour sessions were included with a half hour autograph session and meet and greet with Gigi Marvin and former Gopher greats Kelli Blankenship and Michelle Maunu. Fun was had by all who participated in the event.

The first annual NHG selects weekend was a success. Players were chosen from all of our 1997, 1998, 1999, and 2000 teams except the 2000 Gulls who elected not to participate. Players were chosen from the top NHG players at the Northland Hockey Festival and the Mountain Dew Blast. Some players from the Alexandria Blizzard helped fill some spots at the 2000 level.

The Pike, Loons, Blast, and Gulls were the North Team. The Solar Bears, Renegades, Lakers, and Ice Bucks were the South Team.

An amazing 61 hockey associations from five states and one Canadian province were represented in the tournament.
