The mission statement of the BW Blades hockey program is to provide young hockey players in Wahpeton, ND, Breckenridge, MN and the surrounding communities the chance to participate in a positive, well-organized and competitive hockey league. The BW Blades support system, from coaches and administration to the parents, is designed to instill a sense of responsibility, discipline and respect for each other and the game of hockey. Essential to this process is to learn and develop the physical skills fundamental to the game and to develop respect for the rules, regulations and the officials in a fun and supportive system.
