ST. PAUL, Minn., Oct. 27, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- With the start of a new hockey season, Wild fans have new, exclusive opportunities to show their pride and receive unprecedented access to their favorite team through Associated Bank. This season's Ultimate Wild Fan Program features interactive in-arena, online and community activities, along with an opportunity to win a behind-the-scenes experience.

Fans are invited to test their hockey skills at the Associated Bank Power Play Zone at Xcel Energy Center during all Wild home games.
