Hunting or fishing license holders can order discounted tickets to select Minnesota Wild hockey games, as the Wild and the Department of Natural Resources again team up for this special ticket offer.
New this season, one game will include a free blaze orange hockey logo hat courtesy of the Wild.
The promotion includes these home games:
- Tuesday, Oct. 18, vs. Los Angeles Kings.
- Wednesday, Nov. 23, vs. Winnipeg Jets (includes blaze orange logo hat giveaway).
- Sunday, Dec. 11, vs. St. Louis Blues.
“Hunt, fish and hockey – they all fit well together in Minnesota,” said Jenifer Wical, with the outreach section of the DNR. “We play hockey on ice, auger through ice to fish, and in November deer hunters often cheer a good dusting of snow before firearms season opens.”
A limited number of tickets are available for each game and will be reserved on a first-come, first-served basis. Ticket prices vary based on game and seating options. The offer is available only through advance online purchase at www.mndnr.gov/wildhockey, to hunting or fishing license holders for 2016 or 2017. The discount is not available at the Xcel Energy Center box office.
Buy fishing and hunting licenses anywhere DNR licenses are sold, online with a mobile or desktop device at www.mndnr.gov/buyalicense, or by phone at 888-665-4236. Mobile buyers receive a text or email that serves as proof of a valid fish or game license to state conservation officers.
