Blaze Hockey Kids4Kids encourages youth hockey players to use the teamwork and leadership skills they practice on the ice to come together and raise funds for kids with disabilities and complex medical needs.
Youth teams are encouraged to develop creative fundraising ideas that promote teamwork, empathy, and community involvement that will support the work of Gillette Children's.
Participating teams will also have the chance to win prize packages including a skate party and suite night at a 2025 Minnesota Wild Game compliments of Blaze Credit Union and the Minnesota Wild.
