On March 19, 2025, the Minnesota Wild partnered with PCL Construction to host the 5th Annual Hockey Talks, a program aimed at raising awareness for mental health. The pre-game event featured Erik Westrum, an Alumni of the Minnesota Wild and a mental health advocate, who shared his personal journey with depression and the importance of creating a culture that encourages open conversations about mental health. Proceeds from the program benefited The Ranch – Teammates For Life, a nonprofit dedicated to positively impacting the lives of veterans, athletes, and others in need of support.
