Matt Majka (pronounced MAY-kuh) is entering his second season as Chief Executive Ofﬁcer and Alternate Governor of Minnesota Sports and Entertainment

Auditorium, TRIA Rink, Herbie’s On The Park and 317 on Rice Park.

During his tenure with the Wild, Majka has been instrumental in fostering the unique relationship between the hockey club and its fan base. The team’s

continued dedication to the fans of the “State of Hockey” is reﬂected in ESPN The Magazine’s Ultimate Standings as the Wild was named the “Best Stadium

Experience” in the National Hockey League from 2007-10. Minnesota ranked ﬁrst in the NHL and sixth overall for “Stadium Experience” in the ﬁeld of all

122 major league sports franchises in 2012.

Majka joined the Minnesota Wild in October of 1997 from Rollerblade, Inc., where he started work in 1984. Beginning as a Sales Representative for the

ﬂedgling company, he held positions of increasing responsibility through his 13-year tenure. During his tenure, the privately held company grew revenues

from $1 million to more than $200 million annually.

The Detroit, Mich., native has lived in the Twin Cities for more than 50 years and is a 1984 speech communications graduate of the University of Minnesota.

Majka currently serves on the St. Paul Downtown Alliance, the United States Hockey Hall of Fame, the BEL13VE in Miracles Foundation, the Saint Paul &

operations of the organization and also serves as the team’s Governor at NHL Board of Governors’ meetings. The NHL’s Board of Governors ofﬁcially approved

Leipold’s purchase of MSE on April 10, 2008.

Under Leipold’s ownership, the Wild is dedicated to building a Stanley Cup contending franchise, playing an important role in the community through service

initiatives, providing a fun and entertaining game-night experience and building strong relationships with its fans and corporate partners.

Leipold has advocated for the State of Hockey to host premiere NHL events, including the 2022 NHL Winter Classic at Target Field, 2016 Coors Light Stadium

Series at TCF Bank Stadium and the 2011 NHL Draft at Xcel Energy Center.

A resident of Racine, Wis., Leipold completed the sale of the Nashville Predators to a local ownership group on Dec. 7, 2007, a team he owned since the

expansion franchise was awarded to Nashville in 1997.

During his time as an NHL owner, Leipold has been a tireless advocate for the professional hockey industry. Appointed by NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman,

Leipold serves on both the League’s Executive committee and Audit committee. He was a member of the League Negotiating Committees that negotiated the

Collective Bargaining Agreements with the NHL Players’ Association in 2005 and 2013. He is also a strong advocate for the new, more “fan-friendly” NHL,
