As part of the partnership, Starkey will be featured through a variety of in-arena activations, including videoboard placements, instant replay sponsorships, and Stadium Vision exposure, creating new opportunities to engage with Wild fans throughout the season. In addition, Starkey will provide complimentary foam earplugs to guests at every event at Grand Casino Arena, available for pickup at all Guest Service locations throughout the arena. The partnership also extends to the ice, with Minnesota Wild mascot Nordy utilizing Starkey SoundGear Phantom custom earpieces for hearing protection during Wild home games.
“We’re proud to welcome Starkey as a partner of the Minnesota Wild,” said Carin Anderson, Minnesota Wild Senior Vice President of Corporate Partnerships and Retail Management. “As a Minnesota-based company recognized for its innovation in hearing technology and its commitment to community, Starkey brings a meaningful connection to our area. We look forward to working together to engage our fans and raise awareness of the significant role hearing health plays in everyday life.”

We're proud of our Minnesota roots and excited to partner with the Minnesota Wild, an organization that shares our commitment to community, excellence, and creating meaningful experiences for people across the State of Hockey.
