History

Since 1983 Ice Oasis has trained thousands of young people to play hockey. The program is based on the techniques developed by Ken Yackel Sr. who pioneered organized hockey instruction in Minnesota in 1963. Our philosophy is simple: combine group instruction and individualized feedback to help each player achieve their personal best. 


Over the years our rink and travel teams have won numerous tournaments and awards. Our player alumni have gone on to prep school, junior, NCAA, ACHA college and professional play. Many of our high school players have returned to Ice Oasis after college to play in our Adult Leagues. 

We are proud of the achievements of those players that had the talent and the will to become hockey professionals however the goal of our program is to provide a safe, positive and enjoyable hockey experience for all players and to instill a love of the sport that will follow players into adulthood.
