SHAKOPEE, Minn. (FOX 9) – Wednesday was a big day for hockey in Minnesota, as organizers kicked off the 19th annual Hockey Day Minnesota event.
Through Jan. 25, organizers expect about 15,000 people to enjoy the fun on the ice and the thrills of rides at the park.
“What makes this event one of one? Access to Valleyfair. Valleyfair in its 50 year history has never opened in the winter. If you want the ultimate Minnesota passport stamp: I rode a ride at Valleyfair in January,” organizer Erik Radtke said.
Valleyfair welcomes thrill-seekers in January
The backstory:
Of course, January weather meant visitors stayed away from the Power Tower and the Wild Thing rollercoasters. Instead, the park fired up its more family friendly rides; like Flying Eagle, Scrambler, Tilter, Antique Autos, and a carousel.
“The carousel was warm, they put some insulation up for it, so it’s very cool that it’s blocked from the wind,” Angela McCallum of Eagan said. “We couldn’t pass up the opportunity to come in the winter. Plus were big hockey fans… we bought our tickets the first day they came out.”
What’s next:
A general admission ticket this weekend costs $79. On Saturday, visitors will also have an opportunity to watch the University of Minnesota’s hockey team play.

Brainerd/Little Falls Girls’ Hockey Ties Shakopee 1-1 at Hockey Day Minnesota
Hockey Day Minnesota is one of the state’s premier hockey events, and this year, for the first time ever, a team from Brainerd and Little Falls got to participate.
But the Brainerd/Little Falls girls’ hockey co-op wasn’t just playing any outdoor game at the now four-day event – they had the honor of facing off with host Shakopee. Thursday’s marquee game pitted the Warriors against the Sabers in the shadow of Valleyfair’s roller coasters and thrill rides, a pretty cool setting for a hockey match.
The game was a defensive struggle. Brianna Finnegan made it 1-0 for the Warriors during a power play in the third, but Shakopee got a power play of their own and tied it up. It would go to overtime, but the game ended in a 1-1 stalemate. The tie ended the Warriors’ five-game skid.
