Wild About Reading
The Iowa Wild supports reading in its local community by providing a program that gives students an opportunity to earn hockey tickets by hitting their reading goals! The Wild About Reading program will run two different sessions during the season, meaning students are welcome to participate in both if they choose.
Fall Session: October-December
