Landform’s Commitment to Hockey Day Minnesota 2025: Building the Foundation for Memorable Moments

Landform’s Role in Bringing Hockey Day Minnesota 2025 to Life at Valleyfair in Shakopee

At Landform, we don’t just design spaces—we create experiences. This month, we’re proud to join United Healthcare to play a key role in shaping Hockey Day Minnesota 2025 at Valleyfair in Shakopee. It’s more than just hockey; it celebrates Minnesota’s culture, community, and love for the game, from peewees to pros.  Like our Residential Studio Lead Eric, who’s in the video above, says all the time, “Hockey, Hockey, Hockey!”

When we were invited to help make this event possible, we jumped in with both feet. Here’s a glimpse into how we’re contributing:

  • Picking the Perfect Spot: Finding the right site isn’t just about space; it’s about creating an experience. Our team carefully analyzed Valleyfair to find the ideal location that maximizes functionality and fun.
  • Planning the Layout: Think of this as the event’s blueprint. We designed a site plan that keeps everything flowing—from spectators to vendors to the rink—so every detail comes together seamlessly.
  • Using Drone Tech to Map It Out: Our Aerial Operations team used the latest high-tech drones and captured detailed aerial images of the area. From there, we crafted a contour map that became the foundation for everything—from the rink design to creating a smooth, level surface.
  • Engineering the Perfect Rink: A good rink starts from the ground up. Our Civil Engineering team designed a sturdy rink base and integrated drainage solutions to keep the ice in top condition, no matter what Minnesota’s unpredictable weather throws our way.
  • Surveying Every Detail: From locating event structures to marking out where each element goes, our Land Surveying team, led by our new team member and Survey Discipline Lead Gus, ensured everything was in the right spot, ready for game day.

Hockey Day Minnesota isn’t just about the action on the ice. It’s a chance to bring communities together, celebrate our shared love for hockey, and create memories that will last a lifetime. We’re honored to lend our expertise to this event and support the Shakopee community, including the Shakopee Youth Hockey Association and the local high school hockey program.

We’d love to hear from you! Are you as excited as we are for Hockey Day Minnesota 2025? Share your favorite hockey memories in the comments, or let us know if you’ll be there to cheer on the action!
