DEDIcATION

RON MADDOX MR. SAINT PAUL


1938 - 2010
Ron Maddox, a longtime St. Paul booster, former City Council president, a bar owner and the co-founder of the Taste of Minnesota, died after a courageous bout with cancer on February 19, 2010. Maddox became a fixture in Saint Paul after moving to the Capital City from his native state of Michigan in 1966. He was the lead promoter for the Taste of Minnesota festival for more than 25 years. In addition, he was a member of the Saint Paul City Council and he owned several bars, among them the Blue Chip at 369 Cedar St. in downtown Saint Paul. Maddox was also a survivor when it came to his personal health. According to his family, Maddox stopped counting heart attacks after number seven. He also recovered from a brain tumor and had several knee surgeries. He battled strokes, diabetes and car accidents along the way. He never let setbacks slow him down in anything he set out to achieve for his city. Ron was a huge supporter of the Minnesota Wild since the teams inception in 1997. The Wild wishes to thank Ron and his family for their loyal and steady support throughout our history. He was a gentle giant if there ever was one. His loyalty to his friends and to his favorite City was without limit. -- Dick Zehring, Saint Paul businessman

The Wild will wear a 10th anniversary commemorative mark on its jerseys during the 2010-11 campaign to help celebrate the clubs 10th season in the NHL. The Wild officially joined the NHL on May 1, 2000.

YEAR TEN
patch. The mark uses a stylized Roman numeral X to represent the ten years of the Wild in Minnesota. The X has an added touch of the crossed hockey stick look connecting it back to the State of Hockey. The mark incorporates the team colors of The Wilds 10th anniversary mark Minnesota Wheat, Iron Range Red and Forest will be worn on the right chest at all games this season except for the two contests in Finland, Green and was developed in partnership with where it will be replaced by the NHL Premiere SME in New York.
North America, further displaying the talent of the NHL players internationally, said Mike Ouellet, NHLPA Chief of Business Affairs. Fans in Sweden, Finland and the Czech Republic will have the opportunity to watch some of their own home-grown players competing in these regular season NHL games, which will certainly be a great experience for everyone involved. I think its going to be a great experience, to go back and play in your home country, Hurricanes defenseman and Finland native Joni Pitkanen told NHL.com. I think its good because we have three Finns [Pitkanen, Tuomo Ruutu, Jussi Jokinen], and were playing the Wild and they have the same [Niklas Backstrom, Mikko Koivu, Antti Miettinen]. As the current rosters stand, 18 players could be going back to their home countries with their respective NHL teams. Backstrom will probably be the most recognizable player in Helsinki by local media and fans alike. He is a Helsinki native and a national team goalie. Koivu, Miettinen and Ruutu are also headed to the Olympics for Finland. Its going to be huge games, Pitkanen said. Once in a lifetime experience.

The NHL is expanding its foray overseas for the 2010 Compuware NHL Premiere games. What started as an experiment with the Kings and Ducks going to London to start the 2007-08 season has turned into three major events on the NHL schedule to start the 2010-11 season.

With these games, nearly half of our Clubs will have participated in Premiere -- a testament to how excited our teams are to be playing before our outstanding fans in Europe.

The Wild selected Mikael Granlund with the ninth overall pick in 2010 DRAFT NOTES
The Minnesota Wild first participated in the NHL Expansion and NHL Entry Draft in Calgary on June 24-25, 2000. The Wild selected Marian Gaborik as its first-ever pick of the 2000 Entry Draft (first round, third overall) Gaborik is the highest Wild draft pick and Jean-Michel Bolduc is the lowest draft pick, taken 281st (ninth round) in the 2003 draft. Minnesota made its lowest first-round selection in the 2008 Entry Draft when it selected Tyler Cuma (23rd overall). Minnesota drafted a defenseman with its first pick for the first time in the 2004 Entry Draft (A.J. Thelen, 12th overall). Minnesota has chosen a forward as its first-round selection in eight of its first 11 drafts. The 2002 Entry Draft was the first draft in which the Wild selected a goaltender as Josh Harding (second round, 38th overall) and Barry Brust (third round, 73rd overall) were chosen. Overall, Minnesota has selected nine goalies in 11 drafts (Harding, Brust, Kopriva [2003], Khudobin [2004], Westblom [2005], Hovinen [2006], Hackett and Kuemper [2009] and Gustafsson [2010]). The Wild has selected six Minnesota natives, including: Nick Leddy (Eden Prairie; 2009), Kyle Medvec (Apple Valley; 2006), Chris Hickey (St. Paul; 2006), A.J. Thelen (Savage; 2004), Michael Erickson (Elk River; 2002), and Jake Riddle (Minneapolis; 2001). Medvec and Hickey are still with the organization, Medvec played last season with the University of Vermont (Hockey East) while Hickey played at St. Thomas University. Of Minnesotas 84 total draft picks, 26 have played in a regular-season Wild game while four other Wild draft picks have appeared in NHL regularseason contests with other teams. 14 Wild draft picks skated in a game for the Wild during the 2009-10 season including at least one player from the first eight Entry Drafts: Schultz (2000), Koivu (2001), Boogaard (2001), Bouchard (2002), Harding (2002), Burns (2003), Irmen (2003), Stoner (2004), Khudobin (2004), Pouliot (2005), Sheppard (2006), Clutterbuck (2006), Falk (2007) and Almond (2007). Five Wild draft picks made their NHL debuts in 2009-10: Irmen, Stoner, Khudobin, Falk and Almond. Minnesota has totaled 84 draft picks in its first 11 Entry Drafts. Minnesota made a franchise-high 12 total selections in the 2004 NHL Entry Draft and a franchise-low four total selections in the 2008 Entry Draft. The Wild has made 10 trades on draft day.

XCEL ENERGY CENTER TO HOST 2011 NHL ENTRY DRAFT


The Minnesota Wild will host the 2011 NHL Entry Draft at Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul. The Entry Draft will be held over two days, Friday, June 24 and Saturday, June 25. The 2011 NHL Entry Draft will be the secondever held in the state of Minnesota and the first at Xcel Energy Center. The 1989 NHL Entry Draft took place at the Met Center in Bloomington. Minnesota has played host to other NHL signature events including the 1991 Stanley Cup Final, the 1972 and 2004 NHL All-Star Games and the 2004 World Cup of Hockey. The Xcel Energy Center has also hosted the 2002 Frozen Four, will host the 2011 Frozen Four and is home to the WCHA FinalFive Tournament and the Minnesota State Boys and Girls High School Hockey Tournaments. The Draft is a signature event, and, as our League gets younger and younger, it offers a preview of the NHLs future, said Gary Bettman, NHL Commissioner. The great fans in Minnesota will get a first-hand view of tomorrows stars. We are extremely excited to host the 2011 NHL Entry Draft at Xcel Energy Center, said Minnesota Wild Owner Craig Leipold. The event will be a great opportunity for the State of Hockey to see the future stars of the NHL and to support the drafted players that were developed in Minnesotas youth hockey associations and high schools. Hockeys international spotlight will shine brightly on Xcel Energy Center and the City of Saint Paul. The NHL Entry Draft has grown significantly since the first such event was held in a Montreal hotel ballroom in 1963. In Minnesota, NHL club executives, scouts and coaches will be present on the Entry Draft floor while more than 10,000 fans and more than 500 print, television and radio media are expected. In the last three NHL Entry Drafts (2007-09) there have been 42 players from the state of Minnesota selected, including 12 in the first two rounds.

NHL INFORMATION
ORDER OF SELECTION FOR ENTRY DRAFT The NHLs annual Draft Drawing is a weighted lottery system to determine the order of selection for the first 14 picks of the 2011 Entry Draft. The 14 teams that did not qualify for the Stanley Cup Playoffs, or clubs that acquired those clubs 2011 first-round draft picks, participate in the Drawing.

Each Club must have a roster of at least 20 players, composed of 18 skaters and two goaltenders. Players on Injured Reserve do not count in the 23-Man Roster limit. INjURED RESERVE LIST In the event that a player is injured and a Club wishes to place him on the Injured Reserve List, the Club must follow these procedures. 1. A Club may place a player on the injured reserve list if such player is injured, disabled or ill and unable to perform his duties as a hockey player after having passed the Clubs initial physical examination in that season. 2. A player who has an injury that renders him physically unable to play for a minimum of seven days after that date of the injury can be placed on the Clubs Injured Reserve List. Once a player is placed on the injured reserve, the Club may replace said player on its NHL roster with another player. All determinations that a player has suffered an injury warranting injured reserve status must be made by the Clubs medical staff and in accordance with the Clubs medical standards. 3. A player placed on Injured Reserve is ineligible to compete in NHL games for a period of not less than seven days from the date of injury. 4. Players on Injured Reserve may attend Club meetings and meals, travel with the Club and participate in practice sessions. 5.

The next two (2) seasons, regardless of whether the skater plays any NHL Games in either season, shall count as the second and third years toward satisfying the exemption. For purposes of Regular Waivers and Re-Entry Waivers, the six (6) year exemption for an 18 year old goalie and the five (5) year exemption for a 19 year old goalie shall both be reduced to four (4) years commencing the first season that the 18 or 19 year old goalie plays in eleven (11) NHL Games or more. The next three (3) seasons, regardless of whether the goalie plays any NHL Games in any of those three (3) seasons, shall count as the next three (3) years toward satisfying the exemption. The first season in which a Player who is age 20 or older plays in one (1) or more Professional Games shall constitute the first year for calculating the number of years he is exempt from Regular Waivers and Re-Entry Waivers. A Player 25 years old or older who plays in one (1) or more Professional Games in any season shall be exempt from Regular Waivers and Re-Entry Waivers for the remainder of that season.

MEDIA POLICIES AND PROCEDURES


ACCESS: The Minnesota Wild organization and Communications department strive to make its players, coaches, management and other personnel available in a timely and responsible fashion to all accredited members of the media. CREDENTIALS: Press seating at Wild home games at Xcel Energy Center is available to accredited media in the Al Shaver Press Box located on the south side of the Xcel Energy Centers press level. Single-game credentials must be requested no later than 5 p.m., the day prior to a game played Tuesday through Saturday and by 3 p.m., Friday for a Sunday or Monday holiday game. Requests should be made in writing to Deb Hanson, Minnesota Wild, 317 Washington Street, Saint Paul, MN 55102; facsimile requests at (651) 293-9574 or e-mail requests at dhanson@wild.com will also be accepted. Single-game credentials may be picked up at the media entrance near Gate 1, located on the southeast entrance of the Xcel Energy Center on Kellogg Boulevard. The elevator to the pressroom and press box is located in the southwest corner of the Xcel Energy Center near Gate 2. Due to occasional limited press box seating, those requesting single-game credentials will be seated on an as-available basis, with preference given to the following: local daily newspapers and wire services, television stations with sportscasts, radio stations which use actualities, visiting media, national media. Next preference goes to other Twin Cities media including weekly newspapers, general topic magazines and television shows and any other media that have a specific assignment to cover a Wild game. Those persons holding full-season Wild or NHL Team Management credentials MUST enter through Gate 1. DAY-OF-GAME INTERVIEWS: After completion of the morning skate, which typically begins at approximately 10:30 a.m. (for a 7 p.m. start), is the best time to interview players and coaches on a game day. Requests to interview a player upon his arrival to Xcel Energy Center for the game will be accommodated upon the players and coachs approval and should be requested at the morning skate. If the team is not practicing, the request should be made to the Wild, or visiting team public relations department, no later than 10 a.m. on the day of game. The Wild Communications department cannot guarantee access to players or coaches if no practice is scheduled. Interviews that need advance preparation or special accommodation by a Wild player or Communications staff member, such as live or studio television interviews pre- and post-game, should be made by contacting the Wild Communications department no later than 10 a.m. on the day of the game. DAY-OF-GAME PRACTICES: On home game days when the Wild choose to practice, they will typically take the ice at approximately 10:30 a.m. Media should plan on arriving by 10:30 a.m. for gameday practices. The visiting teams practice usually starts at 11:30 a.m. Call the Wild Communications department if there is a question regarding either teams practice schedule. LOCkER ROOMS: NHL locker rooms close 90 minutes before game time. Requests for interviews to take place before the locker rooms are closed will be accommodated only upon prior approval by both the player and coach. The rooms will re-open five minutes after the game and remain open for 30 minutes. The officials locker room is off limits to the media. Should a comment or interpretation from the games referee or NHL supervisor be needed, contact a member of the Wild Communications department and a pool reporter may be assigned. PHOTOGRAPHERS: Only those photographers on assignment will be allowed access to designated photography locations at rink level and in overhead positions. Xcel Energy Center spaces are accessible to local dailies, wire service photographers and local TV crews (for non-televised games). Two photography positions are reserved for Wild team photographers. Additional photography positions are determined on a first-come, first-served basis; however, in cases of increased photographer attendance, positions will be assigned by Dewayne Hankins of the Wild Brand Marketing staff and team photographer Bruce Kluckhohn. In all cases, photographers should check in with Dewayne Hankins or Bruce Kluckhohn in the pressroom before game time. Because of very limited photography locations, it is not possible to accommodate freelance photographers. PRESS ROOM: Media possessing season credentials or those granted single-game credentials are invited to have a meal before each game in the press dining room, located on the lower level (Xcel Energy Centers south side). The Minnesota Wild will charge media $10 to eat a meal in the press dining room. The room opens twoand-one-half hours before game time. Dining room usage is limited to those presenting valid Wild credentials or NHL Team Management passes. It is impossible to accommodate family members, friends, guests or others. Any abuse of dining room privileges may cause forfeiture of a media pass. Limited refreshments are also available during intermissions. SERVICES: The Wild Communications department will furnish pre-game press notes, lineups, press releases, complete statistics and other pertinent information in the pressroom and the press dining room. There are sufficient electrical outlets and telephones available in the press box and media work room (adjacent to the press dining room). Media interested in using the Xcel Energy Center wireless network can receive an access code from a member of the communications staff. Statisticians are available to assist radio and television broadcasters by contacting the Wild Communications department. These services must be made in advance, and once they are made, the statisticians must be compensated whether or not used. TELEVISION COVERAGE: All television stations are prohibited by the National Hockey League from shooting and distributing game footage of any contest that is being broadcast from Xcel Energy Center by either the Minnesota Wild, the visiting team or network television. Requests for special features and the like should be directed to the Wild Communications department. MEDIA PARkING: The amount of parking available to the media at the Xcel Energy Center is limited. The Wild Communications department will issue full-season parking passes only to those media expected to attend the majority of home games throughout the 2010-11 season. All other parking requests will be handled on a per-game basis and are subject to availability. Media parking will be located in the RIVERCENTRE PARKING RAMP across Kellogg Boulevard from the arena. The ramp has two entrances: on Kellogg Boulevard and on Exchange Street, which can be accessed via Eagle Street (at the Kellogg and West Seventh intersection). To enter the building, media should take the West elevator to Skyway Level and enter the arena at the skyway entrance to Gate 1. An alternate option is to cross Kellogg Blvd. and enter through the main entrance at Gate 1.
