I'm looking for some places to skate and work on skills without a pickup game. In Colorado (where I'm from) they call it Stick and Puck, but other places call it Skate and Shoot or Skills or something else (I know, that's fairly basic, but I've called rinks to ask about Stick and Puck time, and they get confused because they call it something else).

If you know of something, could you let me know. I have my weekdays to myself and want to work on some stuff and get a workout.

Thanks!

Coon Rapids new Ice Center has Stick and Puck time a couple times a week it looks like. They also have a refrigerated outdoor rink right next door. It's a very nice and new facility.

Eden Prairie has multiple Stick & Puck sessions each week, which they call "Developmental Hockey". It's around $5-7 for non-members. The link below is to the schedule for January.

If you want to meet up sometime, I usually go to bloomington on wed. mornings. Its open skating, but if there isn't anyone there rec. skating they allow sticks and pucks. There is never anyone there while school is in.

Thanks for the offer, Flash, but the one day a week I'm guaranteed to work the morning is Wednesday, starting at 9am. Otherwise, I would be there. Sorry.

Thanks for the great suggestions, folks. So far, Coon Rapids has been the best fit for my odd work schedule. In fact, I'm going to stick and puck tomorrow at 1:10 (Friday, Jan 27th) if anyone else is around.
