This season is one of change for the Minnesota Wild. No longer will the arena they play in be called the Xcel Energy Center. That’s not the only sponsorship change being introduced.

Although the hockey home will likely remain referred to as ‘The X,’ it’s now Grand Casino Arena. The lids atop the domes of players heads also have a new sponsor. Quite a lot is taking place on the corporate front in the lead up to the franchise’s 25th season in existence.

Blaze heating up the ice for MN Wild

There’s a bit of comedy in a company called Blaze pairing up with an ice hockey team. That’s what is taking place though, as Blaze Credit Union is the new helmet sponsor for the Minnesota Wild.

The Minnesota Wild and Blaze Credit Union today announced a multi-year partnership as the team’s new home helmet partner. The Blaze Credit Union logo will appear exclusively on the Wild’s home helmets starting this season. Blaze Credit Union is the Official Credit Union of the Minnesota Wild.

“We have enjoyed building our relationship with Blaze Credit Union through our existing partnership, and we are extremely thankful for their additional commitment to be our new home helmet partner,” said Bryan Bellows, Senior Director of Corporate Partnerships.

“Blaze Credit Union is excited to expand our long-term partnership with the Minnesota Wild,” said Dan Stoltz, Blaze Credit Union CEO. “There is incredible alignment with hockey fans throughout Minnesota. Together Blaze and the Minnesota Wild proudly serve this great state of hockey.”

Blaze Credit Union is the third-largest credit union in the state of Minnesota, and is headquartered just outside of St. Paul in Falcon Heights. Blaze was formed in 2024 through a merger between Spire and Hiway credit unions.

Minnesota still needs to get a deal done with superstar Kirill Kaprizov. They are awaiting his return stateside, and then hope to hammer out the particulars. Bill Guerin already inked Marco Rossi to a new deal, and he has done virtually all of the heavy lifting for the offseason.

Some moves have trickled in on the fringes, but John Hynes needs some of his youth to step up into more prominent production roles.

The regular season gets underway on October 9 against the Blues in St. Louis.
