Providing care for Twin Cities athletes at all skill levels
We understand the hard work, sweat and tears that athletes put into their sports. We also know how heartbreaking it can be for athletes to experience an injury and be kept on the sidelines.
Our team provides care for athletes of all skill levels and ages, from professional sports teams to high school and amateur sports leagues. No matter the injury, our sports medicine providers are available to assess and treat it as quickly and effectively as possible.
Minnesota Wild
TRIA is the exclusive orthopedic partner of the Minnesota Wild, providing on-ice medical coverage for the Wild and visiting teams. Together with Regions Hospital, we’ve maintained a long-standing partnership with the Wild dating back to the team’s inaugural season in 2000. Regions is the preferred hospital of the Minnesota Wild, and its event medicine team is available at all home games to care for fans, responding whenever help is needed.
TRIA sports medicine surgeon Dr. Joel Boyd has been the team physician for the Wild since 2000, while Dr. Brad Nelson joined the medical team in 2008, and Dr. Gary Fetzer joined in 2021. As the official team physicians, Drs. Boyd, Nelson and Fetzer attend practices and games, conduct yearly physicals and help the players get back on the ice after injury. TRIA physical therapists Brian Theisen, DPT, and Chad Kofoed, DPT, are also important parts of the Wild’s medical team, working with the Wild Athletic Training staff to help players rehabilitate after injury.
In 2017, TRIA became the naming rights partner to the Minnesota Wild’s new practice facility –
