Support Minnesota Community Hockey & Double Your Impact!

Nine months ago, our association was proudly selected as one of just 11 pilot associations of the Minnesota Wild Foundation's Skate It Forward initiative across the entire state – a true testament to our vibrant community and dedication to growing the game. The program organizers shared with us: "Your community’s application stood out... Based on the results of year-over-year growth of new hockey players in all 11 pilot associations this season, we are confident we made the right selections! Thank you for all you have done to increase hockey participation in your community. 😊"

Now, it's time to build on that success and engage in a friendly competition! We're inviting our community to help us raise funds for the Minnesota Wild Foundation, which will distribute even more hockey grants in 2026-27 to continue strengthening and celebrating community hockey across Minnesota.

This is where the SPCHA can truly shine! We have the opportunity to not only contribute to a great cause but also to win an incredible prize for our association!

Here’s how you can make a huge difference:

>> Donate to our campaign: We are humbly asking you to support this initiative by making a financial donation. Please use our association's unique direct link to ensure your donation counts directly towards our goal.

>> Spread the Word: Share our unique fundraising link with friends, family, and former association members. The more people who know, the more impact we can have!

Why your donation matters now more than ever:

>> The Scoreboard is Live! You can track our progress against the other 10 pilot associations here.

DOUBLE Your Impact: Thanks to TRIA Orthopedics, all donations made between now and January 24th will be matched, dollar-for-dollar, up to $100,000! This is an incredible opportunity to maximize our fundraising efforts!

This competition is part of a larger, statewide "Skate It Forward on Hockey Day Minnesota" campaign, a movement to raise as much money as possible for community hockey – think of it as "Give to the Max Day" for our sport!
