Our team at The Coaches Site is excited to announce a collaboration with the Minnesota Wild Foundation through their new Skate It Forward initiative!

As a longstanding partner of Minnesota Hockey, we are no strangers to the State of Hockey and the superpower that exists in their community hockey model.

This model, which prioritizes players growing up in their community-based youth hockey associations, and then their community high school teams, has helped produce 1 out of 4.5 American Men in the NHL and 1 out of 2.7 American Women in the PWHL. 

The core objective of Skate It Forward is to grow community hockey participation in Minnesota by making it easier for first-time players to get on the ice. Ultimately, the goal is to one day make the first year of ice time free for every young hockey player in Minnesota.

In support of this mission, The Coaches Site will be donating 10% of all sales from Minnesota Hockey Community Associations to the Minnesota Wild Foundation. These funds will be used to preserve, improve, grow and celebrate Community Hockey throughout the state.

We encourage you to learn more about this great initiative and contact our team to explore group membership opportunities for your entire association.
