Thunderbird Families — Big News!

We’ve got a brand‑new fundraising opportunity, and it’s a big one. Thunderbird Youth Hockey will be working the Sauk County Fair Beer Tent, and this event has the potential to make a major impact for our Association.

Not only is this a fun way to get involved, it’s also the perfect chance to knock out your volunteer hours before the season starts while helping us build a stronger program for our players. 🍻🔥

Every shift helps us raise essential funds for equipment, ice time, and keeping hockey accessible for all Thunderbird families.

Hours and shifts are available online!

Shake the dust off those clubs and stretch out that golf swing… the Baraboo/Portage High School Hockey Golf Outing is coming July 19! ⛳️🏒

Trade in your skates for spikes, round up your foursome, and join us for a day on the fairway supporting Thunderbird Hockey!

Whether your golf game is NHL-caliber or “just here for the festivities,” we promise a great time for an even better cause!

Happy Mother’s Day to all of our Thunderbird Hockey moms!

From the moms with little ones following in their strides, to the moms who’ve mastered tying the tightest skates in the rink — today we celebrate YOU.

You are the coaches, the team managers, the carpool coordinators, the ultimate snack queens, and the loudest fans in the stands. You brave the early mornings, the freezing rinks, the long weekends, and somehow still make it all look effortless.

The ice-cold mornings, the tournament weekends, and the hockey season just wouldn’t be the same without you. Thank you for everything you do for your players, your teams, and our Thunderbird Hockey family.

Wishing all of our hockey moms a very Happy Mother’s Day!
