A Commitment To Covering Shakopee Sports

Sports are a part of every community. They provide a source of energy on a fall Friday night, a vehicle for navigating the long Minnesota winters and a talking point for comparing athletes, teams and success years down the road.

And then there are the games themselves—and the individual moments during those games—that athletes, parents, neighbors and friends will remember for the rest of their lives.

Those moments should be highlighted. That’s why we're here.

We are Shakopee Patch, and we are proud to become part of the Shakopee community.

Most important, we’ll help you connect with these teams and these athletes.

Highlighting youth teams is another important part of community sports coverage and, for that, we’re hoping you will help. Send us your from seventh-grade basketball or pee wee hockey—and let us know when your teams win tournaments. If you great photos to share, we'll put them on our website.

And always, if you know of a great sports story waiting to be told, contact me, Patch Sports Coordinator Mark Remme at mark.remme@gmail.com.

Think of Patch as the hub for everything Shakopee. Together, we can showcase our local athletes and help document some of the most exciting times of their lives.
