Over the past three years, Gear Up Minnesota! has become one of the most successful equipment grant programs in the country, providing 91 unique associations with over 1,400 sets of starter hockey equipment. This season Gear Up Minnesota! will take another significant step towards helping new families get involved in hockey by awarding sets of starter goalie equipment.

"We have a strong belief that providing starter player equipment will definitely open up opportunities for associations to help families enter this great game,” said Katy Benoit of Total Hockey. “We also believe there are some associations who want to give their kids a chance to develop as goalies too.”

Apply now for a Gear Up Minnesota! grant and let us enhance your growth initiatives with starters sets of player and goalie equipment.  If you are interested in goalie gear, make sure to include that in the application where it asks about your plans to utilize the equipment.

The application deadline is February 28th.

A special thank you to the Minnesota Wild Foundation, Total Hockey, Shock Doctor, West Bend Insurance, Subway and our other partners for making Gear Up Minnesota! a success.
