Tomorrow night, hockey and mental health share the same rink. 🏒💙

We’re proud to support the Minnesota Wild premiere of Shattered Ice, presented with Sophie's Squad at Grand Casino Arena. It’s a coming-of-age drama about a high school hockey player working through adolescence, friendship, and the loss of his best friend to su***de.

At The Ranch, we believe being a teammate doesn’t stop when the game ends. This film opens the door to conversations young athletes need, and a panel discussion follows the screening.

🎟️ Tickets are just $5, and 100% of proceeds go to Sophie’s Squad and their work in mental health awareness and su***de prevention.

📅 Thursday, October 16
📍 Grand Casino Arena, Saint Paul
⏰ 4:00 PM welcome | 4:15 screening | 5:45 panel

Bring your team, your coaches, and your family. Attendees under 16 must be with an adult.

Mark Pavelich gave everything on the ice, including the pass that set up the winning goal in the 1980 Miracle on Ice. Off the ice, he fought battles few people could see.

The Ranch exists so no player has to fight alone. His legacy is our mission. 🇺🇸🏒

The Ranch: where miracles happen.

Pav made assists on the ice. Now The Ranch makes assists off it. Every guest who walks through our doors is proof that healing is possible.

This September you've helped us keep his dream going. Share this post, check in on a teammate, or support our mission at theranchteammatesforlife.org.

Once a teammate, always a teammate. 💙

Mark Pavelich made the plays that made history possible.

In 1980, "Pav" set up the game-winning goal against the Soviet Union in the Miracle on Ice. Off the ice, his teammates remember a quiet, gentle man who loved the woods, fishing, and playing Neil Young on the team bus.

Later in life, Mark carried struggles many never saw. Before he passed, he shared a vision: a place where athletes, veterans, and first responders could heal together. That vision is The Ranch.

Every person who finds hope here is part of Mark's legacy. We carry it forward, as teammates for life. 💙'

In 1980, a group of college kids made a whole country believe.

Mark Pavelich made the plays that made the Miracle happen. Off the ice, he fought battles most people never saw. Before we lost him, Pav dreamed of a place where people who are struggling could heal together.

That place is The Ranch. This Su***de Prevention Month, we're asking you: do you still believe in miracles? We do. We see them every day.

If you or someone you love is struggling, call or text 988.

Nearly 49,000 Americans died by su***de last year.

Each one was someone's teammate, parent, child, or friend. Our founder Mark Pavelich was one of them. We carry his name because we refuse to let that number be the end of the story.

Hope is real. Help is real. Recovery is real.

If you're struggling, call or text 988, the Su***de & Crisis Lifeline. Veterans, press 1.

Half of adults living with a mental illness never get treatment. That's over 27 million Americans.

Stigma, cost, and silence keep too many people on the bench. At The Ranch, hockey players, veterans, first responders, and their families find counseling, community, and time to heal, surrounded by people who understand.

Asking for help is a team move.

Call or text 988 anytime.

At The Ranch, we see the connection every day between what happened on 9/11 and the veterans and first responders who walk through our doors . Teammates who carried the mission home with them, and who deserve a team to carry them now.

That's what Teammates for Life is about. No one heals alone.

This September 11, join our team. Your gift helps us stand behind the veterans and first responders who once stood for all of us.
