The distribution for the seventh annual Let’s Play Hockey used equipment drive is set to take place this Saturday at Xcel Energy Center.  This annual event has provided more than 16,000 pieces of equipment to approximately 3,000 hockey families from across the state over the past six years.

Each season many families enter the hockey season in need of certain pieces of equipment while other players are holding onto quality pieces of equipment that they have outgrown.  Goalie equipment and hockey sticks typically have the greatest need. The Let’s Play Hockey equipment drive collects the pieces that are no longer being used and redistributes them to people who will use them with the help of Minnesota Hockey, Minnesota Wild and Berger Transfer.

The equipment drive ran for four weeks from Monday, August 31st to Monday, September 28th at select arenas and hockey shops throughout the Twin Cities. The gear will be sorted this week and will be moved to Xcel Energy Center where it will be distributed to families on Saturday, Oct. 3rd from 9 a.m. – 12 p.m.

In past seasons, families have traveled from towns as far away as Grand Forks, Duluth, Windom and more to have the opportunity to pick up free equipment, which enables them to start hockey or stay involved with this great game.

Sponsors and partners for the program, in alphabetical order, include: Berger Transfer, FOX Sports North, Herb Brooks Foundation, Let’s Play Hockey, Minnesota High School Hockey Coaches Association, Minnesota Hockey, Minnesota Ice Arena Managers Association, Minnesota Wild, One Ten Cycles, Swannys, Total Hockey, Upper Midwest High School Elite Hockey League, Western Collegiate Hockey Association (WCHA) and Westwood Sports.
