History[edit | edit source]
The Minnesota Magicians were founded in 2013 by the Minnesota Junior Hockey Group, and currently compete within the Midwest Division of the North American Hockey League (NAHL). The team plays its home games at Richfield Ice Arena, an 1,800 seat facility located in the Minneapolis suburb of Richfield.
