Vikings Youth Hockey Club

The Vikings have opportunities for all member families to save on their fall hockey fees. By working at local sports, racing and concert venues, you can earn money towards your Vikings ice bill. The concessions companies will contribute a part of their profit in exchange for our members staffing their concessions areas. If you work, what you earn comes directly off your balance before contract signing.We have already had 3 events and all were successful. The more you do, the more you save so do not hesitate to contact me. The First Midwest Bank Ampitheatre concert season is starting in 2 weeks and if anyone is interested in joining our group, a mandatory alcohol training session has to be attended. There are 4 sessions this week so do not delay. Email me at Vikingsfundraiser@aol.com with any questions.

The Vikings Youth Hockey Club is an organization whose purpose is to promote the enjoyment, recreational, and competitive benefits of youth hockey. It is our goal to teach the fundamentals of hockey and the fun of playing. We are not an organization whose purpose is to win at all costs. We try to support fair ice time for all players regardless of playing ability, to measure development in personal growth, hard work, self discipline and team work. We hope to teach the valuable lessons that can be equated to everyday life...work hard, play fair, and enjoy a great experience.

 If you have interest in the club or would like more information about the Vikings Youth Hockey Organization, please email the hockey director, Nick Pollos at nick@hockeysenseinc.com.
