It is designed to provide kids and their families with the best of what youth sports can be: having fun, staying active, making friends and creating great memories. This is the first NHL STREET initiative offered in the state of South Dakota.
"NHL STREET was created to bring the love of hockey to more kids in more communities- and this event is a great example of that mission in action," said Savannah Green, Director of Community Relations and Social Engagement for the Rush. "When you combine the energy of the Rush with the reach of community organizations like the YMCA, you unlock something really powerful."
