AAA Hockey
The Bakken Oilers will have teams competing in tournaments in North Dakota, Minnesota, Manitoba, and Saskatchewan for the spring / summer AAA season.
Ages
We will have teams for birth years 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, and 2016. We will also have a 2017 & 2018 development program that will be focused more on practices and skill development.
When
This is a AAA spring program that runs from late March through September.
Where
We are based out of Minot, ND. Most teams will hold practices in Minot. Teams will attend tournaments in Manitoba, Minnesota, North Dakota, and Saskatchewan.
Practices
Each team will set its own practice schedule. The intent is for 10-15 hours of practice ice for each team. We will do our best to set practice times that work for players that would need to travel to attend.
Games
Each team will attend 2-6 tournaments. They will play anywhere from 10-30 tournament games for the season.
Jerseys
Jerseys are made by K1. They are custom sublimated home and away jerseys with coordinating socks and pant shells. This will be an additional expense to the player.
Extra Costs
The Bakken Oilers are a 501c3 nonprofit organization. We do everything we can to keep it affordable for families that would like to participate in our program. The largest expense is the cost to travel and stay in hotels. We collect $50 / player to cover costs of maintaining the website, accounting, and additional professional fees. Other than that the tournament entry fees and ice time fees are split among the players on each team.
