Be Next All-Star Game
Location: Essential Health Sports Center
Time: 11:30a - 4:30p
Come see current professional level players take the ice in Brainerd—all for a great cause.
Join us in Brainerd , MN for an unforgettable day of hockey, community, and purpose at the Be Next McLain Family Foundation Charity Hockey Game — featuring current players from the NHL and AHL.
The day kicks off with tailgating at 11:30 AM in the arena parking lot, featuring food trucks, drinks, and activities for all ages. The puck drops at 2pm for an exciting, fast-paced game showcasing elite talent on the ice.
This family-friendly event brings together the energy of the game with a meaningful mission. Proceeds directly support the Foundation’s work to expand access to youth athletics, provide scholarships, and invest in community-driven programs that empower the next generation.
Whether you’re a lifelong hockey fan, supporting youth sports, or just looking for a great summer event, this is a day you won’t want to miss!
Come be part of something bigger. #BeNext
