Club Hockey (AAA)

Thank you for your interest in MAC! We are truly excited you are here and we look forward to you joining the MAC family. We built MAC to be different from other AAA sports programs and pride ourselves in the club culture we have built. Here are a few foundational elements of our program:

• LOCAL: we select facilities nearest to our families. For the East metro, most of our team events (besides tournaments) will be at Woodbury Ice, M Health Fairview Sports Center, Doug Woog Arena, or Cottage Grove Ice Arena.
• TOP TIER COACHES: We strive to find coaches with rich hockey and coaching backgrounds.
• PLAYER DEVELOPMENT: While we consider winning important, our top priority is player development. This starts with our coaches, and the rapport and engagement they have with our players. We spend much of our time on skill and position specific development.
• THE COMPLETE PLAYER: At MAC, a player's skills, attitude and work ethic are equally important.
