We had a blast at Cochran’s last week on Friday. The surprise  at practice was  from US Ski Team Member and Olympian Julia Kern. We visited with her and we all played a big game of Everyone is It Tag together.

We have quality gear that is perfect for Penguins and Jack Rabbits. We still have a great selection of season lease gear available.

We have sets of both no-wax ($89) classic and brand new skate equipment ($109).

Registration tip for great communication: Most of our communications come through the MNC Website and weekly E blast.

If you want both parents or guardians to receive the E blast, then use one email address to sign up for the MNC Membership and the second email address to sign up for Programs.
