Minnesota Magicians bid farewell to Richfield
One of our favorite local neighbors, the Minnesota Magicians, are moving. Ownership has agreed to sell their NAHL membership to new owners who will move the team to Eagle River, Wisconsin following the conclusion of the season. In the process, the team will be rebranded and renamed.
The Minnesota Magicians have called Richfield home for the last nine seasons and have been active in the community. Be sure to come out to the Richfield Ice Arena to support the Magicians for their last games this month.
