The Minnesota Wild, in partnership with BMO, NHL and NHLPA, are pleased to present the inaugural Hockey Is For Me program in the summer and fall of 2021. The goal of the program is to introduce the game of hockey to 120 children of color (ages 5-9) from the Twin Cities area.

According to Minnesota Hockey, 86% of players in Minnesota who are 8-years old and under are white. There is a great need to grow the game of hockey in Minnesota among different ethnic groups.
 

Children who participate in the program will receive the following at no cost:
Four Learn to Skate sessions at TRIA Rink at Treasure Island Center in St. Paul, the official practice facility
of the Minnesota Wild.

• Skates and helmets will be provided during each session
• Kids will be divided into four groups of 30
• Free parking is available in the TRIA Rink parking ramp
