Favorite Wild Moment: Getting to witness Marc-André Fleury close out his Hall of Fame career with the Minnesota Wild was unforgettable. Being present for his final regular-season NHL appearance—when he came off the bench to secure an overtime victory and become the all-time leader in overtime wins by a goaltender—is a memory I will cherish forever.

Favorite Part of Being a Wild Season Ticket Member: Being a season ticket member isn’t just about going to games—there are so many fun experiences to be had. Highlights included riding the "Gus Bus" with Gus to the home opener, helping prep the ice for the season, and meeting my favorite players on the team.

Favorite Wild Moment: One of my favorite Wild moments was April 15, 2025, when the Wild clinched a playoff berth in dramatic fashion against Anaheim, and Marc-André Fleury took the ice for overtime in his final regular-season NHL game. Watching him make five saves, earn his 575th career victory, and be surrounded by his teammates as the crowd chanted his name was unforgettable. Even the opposing team stayed to shake his hand! What made it especially meaningful was celebrating a man whose character, humility, and sportsmanship are as remarkable off the ice as his accomplishments on it. It was a beautiful reminder that hockey is about so much more than winning.

Favorite Part of Being a Wild Season Ticket Member: Being a season ticket member makes me feel like part of the Wild hockey community. I especially enjoy volunteering my time on the Fan Advisory Board and having the opportunity to make a difference beyond the game itself. It's the relationships you build and the people you get to know along the way that make the experience so special.

Favorite Wild Moment: My hands-down favorite moment was attending the game when the Wild advanced to the second round in the 2026 playoffs. It was glorious watching Dallas in the handshake line! I will always remember the strong sense of community that overtook the arena: hugging, high-fiving, cheering and trading Foocoos with fellow fans. I have never heard Grand Casino Arena be so loud with the "Let's go Wild" and "Wally" chants. The barn was packed!

Favorite Part of Being a Wild Season Ticket Member: I come from a die-hard hockey-loving family, and I like to rotate which family members I bring to the games. For me, it is invaluable to cheer on my favorite team, talk hockey, enjoy food and a beverage and attempt to make the jumbotron with my relatives. I will always cherish the memories I have made with my loved ones at Wild games.

Favorite Wild Moment: It’s impossible to choose just one, but one moment that stands out happened when my husband and I traveled to Edmonton to see the Wild play as part of our goal to attend a game in every NHL arena. I was wearing my Jared Spurgeon jersey when a woman came up behind me, put her hand on my shoulder, and asked if he was my favorite player. I said, “Yes!” She smiled and said, “He’s mine, too. He’s my son.”

It was such a cool, unexpected moment that made the hockey world feel a little smaller. It’s a reminder that there are personal stories and connections behind the players we cheer for, and those unexpected experiences are part of what makes being a fan so special.

Favorite Part of Being a Wild Season Ticket Member: I love hockey and the Minnesota Wild, but what makes being a season ticket member special is getting access to things that, as a fan, I think are really cool! From opportunities to meet players and attend special events to touring the facility and the little things like winning a signed puck, these experiences make me feel like I’m a small part of the organization, rather than just someone who attends games. I love that insider feeling and the connection it creates with the team.

Being a season ticket member has also given me something to share with family and friends. I’ve become a bit of a Wild ambassador, helping people make the most of their game-day experience with a little guide I created that includes parking, places to eat, and things to see while at the game. And, admittedly, I’ve brainwashed a few friends and family members into becoming Wild fans along the way!

It's more than just attending hockey games; it's being part of a community of fans who share the same passion for the Wild.

Favorite Wild Moment: There are a lot of fun memories, but a top one was bringing friends to the Rangers - Wild game on 11/4/23, we went down 3 goals in the first 5 minutes. Our friends wanted to leave, but we said, "you never know what can happen". Fleury came in - stood tall - and ended up winning it in the shootout with one of his signature windmill saves. The X was electric!

Favorite Part of Being a Wild Season Ticket Member: The unique opportunities to interact with the team, whether it is watching practice, Halloween skating, painting the ice, autograph sessions, and more.

Favorite Wild Moment: 1) 2002-2003 playoffs and making it to the Western Conference Finals. 2) The Winter Classic. Many great moments and memories!

Favorite Part of Being a Wild Season Ticket Member: A few Things: 1) The opportunity to spend time and build bonds with family and friends is #1. My kids and I have spent this journey together, and they are now the next generation of Raving Fans. 2) The amazing staff support making us feel important and offering many unique opportunities to attend special events and programs. 3) Allowing me to support the City of St. Paul. When Norm Coleman and others brought the team to St. Paul it was a huge deal and badly needed for the city. I love downtown St. Paul and want to help it thrive in any way I can. 4) It is a good business tool for sharing with clients. 5) I love concerts and having the 1st right for events coming to Grand Casino is a huge perk that I also love.

Favorite Wild Moment: December 20, 2007. Two memories from that game. First, this is the game where Marian Gaborik scored 5 goals against the NY Rangers. That was a great moment, but the other thing I remember about that night was when Brent Burns checked one of the Ranger players into the boards and then turned and immediately checked a second Ranger. Both players ended up on the ice with him standing over them. One of the greatest defensive checks I have seen.

Favorite Part of Being a Wild Season Ticket Member: I like that my Wife and I have built in date nights during the season. We love going to the games and guessing what the score will be before the puck drops and the bragging rights when we are correct. I like that we have an attentive rep who does not hesitate to say hello to us and is always available to answer questions (Thanks Zach!).
