DIVISION 3 NATIONAL CHAMPIONS
Australian Rules football, or 'footy' as it is colloquially known, is a non-stop thrill - a fast, competitive, physical, and high scoring team game.
In its first three years of competition at the National level the Minnesota Freeze have had remarkable success by winning two championships; Division 3 in 2005 and Division 2 in 2007. Coupled with that on-field success has been the outstanding growth both on and off the field, as it has developed from a team into a fun social club as well.
If you are looking to get involved in sports, looking for something new or perhaps just want to see what footy is all about: join the Minnesota Freeze Footy Club today.
NEW PLAYERS ARE ALWAYS WELCOME !
We have programs for men and women that cater to all levels of participation: local, National, and International competition. No prior experience is necessary. We have three local teams, comprised of players from various backgrounds, ages, and nationalities that scrimmage against each other throughout the season in a Metro League - The Bushrangers, The Norsemen, and The Ice Dogs.
We encourage everyone to come down to Lake Nokomis for our weekly training and join us for a kick.
With an open and welcoming Metro League, a highly competitive team in the Mid-American Australian Football League (MAAFL), and a winning national team, there is much to like about being involved with The Freeze.
!!! NEWS FLASH !!!

In extremely trying weather conditions The Freeze redeemed their season with a very respectable 2 wins and 1 loss in Division 2 at the National Championships in Colorado Springs, Co.
With their only loss going to the eventual champions The Seattle Grizzlies, the Freeze lived up to their reputation of being a well organized, tough, competitive unit when it comes to the big games.
Although our Division 4 team didn't fare as well on the scoreboard, they put forward a fantastic effort for being racked by injuries, undermanned, and up against some really good blended teams.
Everyone took away a great experience which will be of huge benefit going forward.
Thanks also to all our supporters who also cashed in their marble, made the trip, and braved the conditions.
