The echoes of skates cutting across the ice on the countless outdoor rinks, a deep hockey culture and tradition, and a legacy of success at every level - this is what makes Minnesota truly the State of Hockey. This year, that passion takes center stage as The Coaches Site brings its renowned hockey coaching conference to St. Paul, Minnesota, from September 27-28, 2025.

A Two-Day Immersive Coaching Summit

Described as the "Ted Talks of Hockey," TCS Live is more than just a coaching clinic, it's an experience designed to ignite new ideas and elevate the game. Featuring a line-up of Minnesota’s most accomplished hockey leaders, the event will provide an in-depth look at cutting-edge strategies in player development, team dynamics, and seasonal planning.

With the backing of The Coaches Site, the Minnesota Wild, and Skate it Forward, this event is a must-attend for coaches of all levels, from mites to high school and beyond. Whether you're looking to refine your coaching philosophy or discover innovative training methods, TCS Live guarantees inspiration and practical takeaways for the 2025/26 season.

On & Off-Ice Presentations by Minnesota’s Top Coaches

Honoring the Minnesota Hockey Model, this year’s event exclusively features speakers with deep ties to the state. Expect a dynamic mix of on-ice demonstrations and engaging stage presentations, as top coaches share the lessons that have shaped their careers. The agenda will focus on grassroots player development, ensuring that attendees walk away with actionable insights to bring back to their teams.

Connect & Network with Fellow Coaches

Hockey thrives on collaboration, and TCS Live Minnesota offers unparalleled networking opportunities. Attendees will have the chance to exchange ideas with coaches from youth, high school, and collegiate levels, fostering connections that will ensure every young player in the State of Minnesota enjoys an enhanced development experience. 

Support the Skate It Forward Initiative

Beyond education and networking, this event is committed to making hockey more accessible. All profits will be donated to the Minnesota Wild's Skate It Forward initiative, which in turn will be reinvested back into youth hockey programs and assist with more kids being introduced to the game. Your investment in coaching development will directly contribute to the growth of the game at the grassroots level.
