Hockey at NorthStar is about more than games and practices — it’s about the experience along the way. Through travel, college and campus visits, team traditions, and time spent together off the ice, players gain exposure to new places, build lasting relationships, and grow as young men. The Knights experience is designed to broaden perspectives, strengthen character, and prepare players for life beyond their time at NorthStar.
College, Junior & Pro Exposure
A unique part of the Knights Experience is the opportunity to travel, explore new cities, and gain exposure to hockey beyond our own rink. Over the years, our players have visited, toured, practiced, or attended games at a variety of collegiate and elite hockey programs, including Bethel University, the University of Wisconsin, North Dakota, Miami (Ohio), Penn State, St. Cloud State, the University of St. Thomas, Augustana University, Notre Dame, Western Michigan, the U.S. National Team Development Program, and the University of Nebraska–Omaha. Players have also had opportunities to experience junior and professional hockey environments with organizations such as the Fargo Force, Waterloo Black Hawks, Cedar Rapids RoughRiders, Des Moines Buccaneers, Steinbach Pistons, and the Lincoln Stars, as well as NHL teams including the Winnipeg Jets, Pittsburgh Penguins, and Chicago Blackhawks. Additional opportunities continue to grow each season.
