The chairman of the board of the Hobey Baker Memorial Award Foundation, James L. Nichols, will kick off the celebration by making the "Let's Play Hockey" call prior to the game. The Hobey Baker Award winner will be announced during the NCAA Frozen Four on Friday, April 6 at the legendary Roy Wilkins Auditorium in downtown St. Paul. The announcement will be televised live on NHL Network and streamed on the Hobey Baker website at 5 p.m. CT. Also before the puck drops, the 2017 State of Hockey Legacy Award winner will be honored.
The celebration continues with "Jerseys Off Our Backs". Fans will be selected randomly to receive game-worn Wild jerseys from that evening's contest, each delivered and autographed by the respective player in a special on-ice ceremony following the game. Fans who would like to solidify their chance at a "Jerseys Off Our Backs" Experience can bid for a chance to do so with the following players: Devan Dubnyk, Matt Cullen, Mikko Koivu, Charlie Coyle, Jason Zucker, or Nino Niederreiter. These experiences include two (2) lower-level tickets to the game. Head to
