As announced on their official NHL website, the Minnesota Wild will be supporting the team in it’s inaugural season in numerous ways:
This includes hosting the team’s games and practices at TRIA Rink; the Wild sharing their extensive resources, including support in marketing, promotions, communications, social and digital media, and community relations; and pairing of the clubs’ regular season home openers on Oct. 6. (NHL.com)
