On Thursday night we welcomed Matt and Lexi as our October honorees for our Youth Referee Spotlight series🌟 The Minnesota Wild is proud to partner with Minnesota Hockey and the @positivecoachus to honor two youth referees each month. This October we are proud to honor Matt Noldin and Lexi Kemp.

Introducing your October "I am a Hockey Player" honoree, Paige Faber! Thank you for everything you do to inspire the people around you 🫶

We are excited to announce that Pink Power Foundation is our October Charity of the Month! Pink Power Foundation is dedicated to easing the financial burden faced by individuals undergoing active breast cancer treatment.

Thank you to 2026 Minnesota teacher of the year, David Davis, for getting us started with Let’s Play Hockey from the Blaze Credit Union promo deck!

A chance to own a piece of the game 🏒 The Greater State of Hockey Auction brings fans exclusive access to autographed memorabilia, game-used equipment, behind-the-scenes experiences and more throughout the 2026-27 season. Every bid supports the Minnesota Wild Foundation » bit.ly/3W98qe5

The gear is ready for its next player! Join us this Sunday from 11 a.m. to noon at Grand Casino Arena for our Annual Used Equipment Drive and find gently used hockey gear FREE! We’re helping make hockey more accessible so more kids and families can hit the ice. Big thanks to @AAAMoversInc, Let’s Play Hockey and Minnesota Hockey for helping get more players in the game 💚❤️

Know someone who gives their time, energy and heart to the game? Give them a Stick Tap Salute and nominate them for in-game recognition. Learn more » mnwild.co/StickTapSalute

Every rink has a kid who gives a little more. Nominate them for Wild for a Day and give them a chance to experience a Wild morning skate, meet players, attend a game and more. Nominations are open » bit.ly/3Uhd1HF

Let’s fill some backpacks 🎒 Bring school supplies to the Wild game on Oct. 15. Fortinet volunteers will be collecting donations at all Grand Casino Arena gates! Full details » bit.ly/4j89AAe

Which Wild player will you get? For $35, grab a themed puck autographed by a member of the 2026–27 Wild, but the signature stays a mystery until it’s yours! Find Mystery Pucks at Section 104 starting when gates open, while supplies last. Cashless only. A portion of proceeds benefits the Minnesota Wild Foundation.

Giving back to the State of Hockey one tree at a time 🌲 As part of our Break A Stick, Plant A Tree program, we’re planting trees in honor of every broken stick throughout the season. Thank you to @CurbSideLawn for supplying the trees and to the @SaintPaulParks team for helping us plant them at the Como Woodland Outdoor Classroom!

Congrats to our CEO, Matt Majka, on being a 2026 Minnesota Hockey Coaches Association HOF Inductee! #mnwild | @MNHocCoachAssn
