There were only two new clubs playing the sport this year, both joining the newly formed Minneapolis Hockey League.
Richfield Hockey Club
The Richfield Hockey Club is based in Richfield, MN. Richfield is a town of about 2,000 bordering Minneapolis to the southwest. The town has a strong claim to being the first suburb in Minnesota, dating back to the 1820s when settlers developed the land due to its proximity to Fort Snelling. It is primarily an agricultural community, providing wheat for the mills in Minneapolis. The club decided on orange and black striped sweaters and socks and they will play their home games at Christian Park which can seat about 250.

West Minneapolis Hockey Club
The West Minneapolis Hockey Club is based in West Minneapolis, MN. West Minneapolis is a village of about 2,000 west of Minneapolis. The village is rather small, being just 4.09 square miles in size, making the whole town really tight-knit and connected. The team will wear burgundy sweaters and socks with a WM symbol sewn on the chest in white. They will play their home games downtown at Central Park which has a capacity of about 250.

We had five teams making some sort of adjustment to their identities and they happened to all be in different leagues.
Hibbing Hockey Club
The Hibbing Hockey Club dropped the stripes on both their sweater & socks in favor of solid gray duds with a large block H on the front.

Powderhorn Hockey Club
The Powderhorn Hockey Club made the biggest change of any team this offseason, adopting a completely new logo and uniforms. The powder horn silhouette is dropped in favor of a new block P logo.
As previously mentioned, Powderhorn adopted drastically different uniforms, adding black stripes to their gray uniforms and putting the new P logo in white inside a thicker chest stripe.

Rose Hockey Club
Finally we have the Rose Hockey Club who made a small adjustment to their uniforms to coincide with their move to the newly built Rose Rink. Their new sweater is exactly the same except the Rose emblem is moved from the upper left chest to the center of the chest and made a touch larger.

Anoka really feels like they're out there on an island.

They're about 20-25 miles northwest of Minneapolis so they're definitely the outlier but it's really not that far.
