DinoMights

DinoMights DinoMights connects with urban youth through the game of hockey builds long-term mentoring relationships to support their development.

DinoMights is a non-profit youth development program serving youth in the Phillips, Powderhorn, and Central neighborhoods of south Minneapolis. We offer youth the opportunity to play hockey in neighborhoods where the sport is uncommon. DinoMights partners with the NHL Diversity Task to encourage kids from diverse backgrounds to join a sport most commonly played by white males. We believe hockey pr

ovides opportunities for our youth to learn how to work as a team, gain lasting friendships, and build character. DinoMights also offers tutoring to our youth. We aim to support our kids in their academic success by ensuring every kid is reading on grade-level. In the summer, when school is out and hockey is out of season, we bring our youth to various camps. In the past we have brought our youth Top Dog Hockey Camp, Impact Camp, Silver Birch Ranch, Kids Across America, and the Boundary Waters Canoe Area.

Dear DinoMights Families, Friends and Supporters,

On behalf of all at DinoMights, I write to express our grief at the passing of Jessi Pierce and her three children: Hudson, Avery, and Cayden. Jessi was a great friend of DinoMights, she believed in our students and that hockey could be for everyone. We all know she told the stories of the Wild and the NHL. Lesser known, but no less a passion was her dedication to tell the stories of the youth at DinoMights. More than once she highlighted our program on Bar Down Beauties and she wrote about us for USA Hockey. Every year she got on the ice with the first graders at Greg Carroll Learn 2 Skate, a tradition that began many years ago. She treasured the progress the young skaters would make, and she smiled the whole session herself. I’ll highlight a particularly touching moment. When a high school student in DinoMights was trying to raise money for Lake Street Rehabilitation in the wake of the George Floyd tragedy, Jessi had her on the show to tell her story.

Today we are all telling Jessi’s story, a fitting way to remember someone that told our story and the stories of so many everyday.

Sincerely,
Scott Harman
Executive Director
