Minnesota beverage company, Stilly Spirits, has entered partnerships with National Hockey League (NHL) team, Minnesota Wild, and Minnesota’s NBA and WNBA teams, the Timberwolves and the Lynx.

Specialising in pre-mixed, canned cocktails, Stilly products will be available at branded kiosks throughout the teams’ stadiums, the Xcel Energy Centre and Target Centre.

Concerts and other events at the arenas will also supply Stilly drinks.

Commenting on the joint partnership, Timberwolves and Lynx chief operating officer, Ryan Tanke, stated: “Stilly is a fantastic addition to our premier food and beverage program at Target Centre.”

“We look forward to tipping-off the season with Stilly and our fans,” he said.

Stilly CEO, Nick Barthelemy, added: “We are thrilled to partner with the Minnesota Wild, Minnesota Timberwolves and Minnesota Lynx.”

“As we grow our roster of professional sports team partnerships, we are humbled and delighted to be a part of bringing a premier experience to all Minnesota sports fans.”

Similarly, Wild vice president of marketing, Todd Frederickson, said: “We’re excited to bring Stilly to our food and drink offerings this year and introduce our fans to Minnesota’s newest and best-selling ready-to-drink cocktail in a can.”

“It’s clear Stilly has become the hometown favourite, which makes it a perfect partner for the Minnesota Wild,” he concluded.

The deal comes in the Wild’s first full season under the part-ownership of a private equity firm.
