To be eligible for Little Wild 2017, children must be born between September 1, 2012 and September 1, 2008.
*Please note, 5 year olds must have had their 5th birthday by September 1, 2017 to be eligible to participate. If your child is 9 years or older, he/she is ineligible for the Little Wild program.
The program is for children who have not participated in organized youth hockey programs before. Children who have registered and played with a local Minnesota Hockey association and/or previously participated in Little Wild are not eligible to participate in this program. The Minnesota Wild and Little Wild Learn to Play reserve the right to cross-reference all participants and remove children who are ineligible without refund.
*If your child participated in a Learn to Skate program other than this, he/she is eligible for Little Wild.
Registration opens at 10:00 am (CST) on Tuesday, May 23. Please visit our website for registration links.
Yes. We highly recommend skating lessons before the start of the Little Wild Program. Little Wild participants should be able to skate the width of the ice without assistance before their first Little Wild clinic. For further information on skating lessons, please check out your local community education or rinks for classes.
The total cost of the Little Wild Learn to Play Program is $100.00 (+$5 registration fee). This fee covers a full set of custom-fit CCM equipment from Total Hockey, a Little Wild jersey, and four, one-hour skating sessions at your appointed location. Participants keep all equipment at the completion of the program.
When you register for the Little Wild Learn to Play Program, you will receive a confirmation email with information on equipment fitting dates and times at a Total Hockey store location.
Yes. As long as you cancel before the equipment fittings, you will receive a full refund. Please contact us regarding your refund at 651.312.3443 or email littlewild@wild.com.
All coaches are USA Hockey certified ADM (American Development Model) coaches. Many are current Minnesota High School hockey coaches.
Welcome to the Little Wild team! You will receive an email from our program directing you to the next steps, including when, where, and how to get fitted at your local Total Hockey store in full CCM equipment.
Yes. Each site has a maximum of 65 participants. In the event that the location you are attempting to register for is full, you will automatically be added to a waiting list and contacted should a spot become available.
We hope your child thoroughly enjoyed their experience with Little Wild and ask all graduates of the program to register with USA Hockey (free for kids 4-6, ages 7+ will pay a $50 annual membership fee) and their local association for organized hockey. If your child is not ready for a full season, we suggest further skating lessons to continue developing your skater's abilities and confidence on the ice.
