2. Diversified Hockey Night at MN Wild Game – Register by February 15th
Once again this year, MN Wild Special Hockey players and families have the opportunity to participate in the Minnesota Diversified Hockey Night at a Wild game in St. Paul. This is a terrific opportunity for us to spread the word about Special Hockey. Special Hockey players will have a chance to skate during intermission, sell programs, give players a fist bump in the tunnel, ride the Zamboni, or perhaps even be on the Wild bench during warmups. If you register and are chosen to participate, you are committing to attend the Wild game.
Date: Sunday, March 1st, arrive no later than 2:00 pm, we hope to have some flexibility with this due to our jamboree schedule that day, but we don't know for sure. The game starts at 4:00 pm.
Where: Grand Casino Arena, St. Paul, MN.
What: MN Wild vs. St. Louis Blues
What are the activities?
- 2nd Intermission Skate - ~12 players and 2 coaches
- Full gear required
- Player/Coach will receive 2 tickets to the game
- Program Sales - ~14 total (includes one family member/guardian per player)
- Bench Buddies - ~4 players between ages 5-12
- Bench Buddies will be on the Wild bench during warmups. (must wear a helmet but helmets are provided by the Wild, you don't have to bring your own)
- Fist Bump - ~2 players between ages 12-17
- Players will give fist bumps to Wild players outside of their locker room
- Zamboni riders during intermission - ~8 players/parent/guardians randomly selected from those selling programs
Please note that registering for this event does not guarantee that you will be participating. If more register than spots available, we will have a drawing.
Minnesota Special Hockey is only given a limited number of tickets into the game. The players doing the Fist Bump and Bench Buddies will receive 2 tickets each. (We can't guarantee any locations of where these seats are in the rink. It is very random but is most likely in the upper concourse.) Program sellers will not get tickets but will receive event passes giving them access to the arena.
Hopefully everyone will be contacted about their assignments by Friday, February 20th. This registration will close on Sunday, February 15th.
