DISTRIBUTION SATURDAY, OCT. 8 AT XCEL ENERGY CENTER

Minnesota Hockey, Let's Play Hockey and the Minnesota Wild will partner for the eighth straight year for the annual Used Hockey Equipment Drive across the Twin Cities. The distribution will take place on Saturday, October 8 at Xcel Energy Center in Saint Paul, MN. 

From 9 a.m. - noon on Saturday, Oct. 8, thousands of pieces of donated equipment will be distributed for free to hockey associations and individuals at Xcel Energy Center. Each year the equipment drive draws hundreds of people, including many who arrive well before the event opens to save their place in line. 

"We are excited to continue with the 8th annual Used Hockey Equipment Drive," said Bryan Zollman, publisher of Let's Play Hockey. "We encourage anyone with old hockey equipment laying around their house or in their garage to donate it to the drive. Doing so will give other young hockey players the opportunity to get involved and enjoy the great game of hockey."

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, Total Hockey, Upper Midwest High School Elite Hockey League, Western Collegiate Hockey Association (WCHA) and Westwood Sports.
