After getting off to a rough start, the Minnesota Wild earned their first win of the young season Thursday night in a 4-3 overtime thriller against the Vancouver Canucks.

Not only did the Wild win their first game this week, but they also made a couple of announcements that are also sure to please Wild fans.

For fans wanting to brave the elements and watch a practice, the Wild announced they are hosting a free, open-to-the-public outdoor practice, presented by ORORO. The practice takes place on Saturday, November 5 at the ROC (Recreation Outdoor Center),  located at the City of St. Louis Park Rec Center (3700 Monterey Drive).

This public, outdoor Wild practice is scheduled to start at 10:30 a.m. and last approximately 45 minutes. Fans are encouraged to arrive early as space is limited.
