The Western Collegiate Hockey Association is proud to announce that the league has renewed its existing partnership with Wheeler Retirement Plans, a company based in Duluth, Minnesota, that aims to provide retirement plans to all types of businesses.
"Ryan Coole and Wheeler Retirement Plans continue to support the WCHA and our players," said WCHA Commissioner Michelle McAteer. "Ryan, a proud former UMD Bulldog, values the student-athlete experience, and his player participation gifts help us elevate the event."
After a successful partnership in 2025, Wheeler Retirement Plans has agreed to once again partner with the WCHA and will help in elevating the overall experience for the league's premier event at the 2026 Kwik Trip WCHA Final Faceoff, which will be held from March 5-7 at Lee & Penny Anderson Arena on the campus of the University of St. Thomas. Wheeler Retirement Plans will provide participant gifts for all student-athletes competing at the 2026 Kwik Trip WCHA Final Faceoff, to help recognize the competitive excellence of those participating.
"We are thrilled to be a part of the WCHA’s marquee tournament, highlighting some of the best hockey players in the world," said Partner at Wheeler Associates, Ryan Coole. "Commissioner McAteer and her team are wonderful stewards for the game, and we are honored to be a small part of the weekend."
