"Joy of the Pond" outdoor mite hockey Jamboree set Sat Feb 8 in Eagan

InSports Foundation and Mn Vikings player Blake Cashman come together to put on an outdoor winter event promoting mental health and wellness

The InSports Foundation is hosting the "Joy of the Pond" Mite Jamboree at the Warming Haus and Ice Rinks at TCO Stadium. This exciting event will bring together over 250 Mite hockey players for a day filled with enthusiasm and sportsmanship. We’re also thrilled to announce that Minnesota Vikings Linebacker and former Eden Prairie HS star, Blake Cashman will be joining us on stage for an “Athletes InSports Podcast” recording. He will also be recording an on-stage podcast, and available to meet fans and sign autographs between 11am - 1pm. We believe this event encapsulates the spirit of community, joy, and athleticism that resonates deeply within the Twin Cities. It's an opportunity for families and fans to come together in celebration of youth sports and the camaraderie it fosters.
