Welcome to the 2024 Gear Up Minnesota Application!

Minnesota Hockey is excited to announce applications for the 2024 Gear Up Minnesota equipment grant program, in partnership with Dick's Sporting Goods, are now open!

Grant recipients will receive gift cards from Dicks's Sporting Goods. Association representatives will have the opportunity to use the gift cards in-store or online to purchase the specific equipment their association most needs to recruit new players and retain them. 

Applications should:
• Be detailed and specific
• Display creativity and ingenuity in how the grant will be used
• Demonstrate how the grant will act as a supportive piece of an overall growth plan
• Show a track record of effort and success in using grants to grow the game

The deadline to apply is May 31, 2024. Recipients will be notified in late June and the gift cards will be distributed by the end of August. 

A special thank you to Dick's Sporting Goods, the Minnesota Wild Foundation, Kwik Trip, Northwest Designs and our other partners for making Gear Up Minnesota a success.
