hen it comes to hockey in the Fargo-Moorhead area, there are a few different options. Still, nothing can compare to the Fargo-Moorhead Adult Hockey Club (FMAHC). Founder and player, Skyler Severns, moved to Fargo from Seattle, Washington and wasn't sure what he would find when he arrived here. Having no previous skating experience before his move, where he needed to start looking was a challenge. Of course, there are bar leagues and the Fargo Parks district leagues, but he was looking

for something more, something different, so he created it. The FMAHC more closely resembles a minor league team with all skill levels instead of a bar league. "We try not to call it a bar league, largely because we don't let bars advertise on an individual team," said Severns. However, "we do allow bars to advertise for the whole league." What is unique about this club is they run three drop-ins, which are not officiated games, per week year-round. Additionally, they have development sessions for new
players and this is all open to the public. "We have some players who have played in the junior leagues and then some players, like me, who haven't played very much hockey at all," stated Severns. In addition to drop-ins, the perks of this league include personalized team jerseys, playing cards with your picture and stats on them, pre and post-season gatherings, and the ability to hit the ice during any reserved practice times at the Scheels Arena – where the games take place.
