The Shakopee Six are a team of the Hennepin Hockey League, where they have played as a charter member since the league's inaugural 1982-83 season. Based in Shakopee, Minnesota, the Six play their home games at the 750-seat Shakopee Ice Arena.
History[]
Before joining the Hennepin League, the Six played their first 11 seasons (1972-1982) as a founding member of the South Metro Hockey League.
Why Six?[]
The Six name is a reference not only to the number of players on a hockey team, but also to Shakopee's long Native American history.
The city's namesake is Chief Shakopee, a Dakota Chief who got his name after his wife, White Buffalo Woman, gave birth to sextuplets, leading to early European settlers nicknaming the village the "Village of the Six." After the deaths of Shakopee and his adopted son Eaglehead (who took the name Shakopee II upon becoming Chief), leadership of the tribe was passed to Shakopee II's son Eatoka, who took the name Shakpedan (meaning "Little Six").
Culture[]
Six Up[]
Shakopee fans have a hand sign to show their support for their team. They call it "Six Up", a term that has since been adopted as the official team motto.
Six fans hold their right hands up with their pointer finger & thumb touching. Their middle, ring, & pinky fingers stay up and together, forming a 6.
