The sports medicine team at TRIA cares for athletes at all levels. The same care given to elite athletes is available to all TRIA patients. Our experts have years of experience returning athletes back to competition. No matter the injury, we have providers available to access and treat it.
Minnesota Wild
TRIA, Regions Hospital and the Minnesota Wild have a long-standing partnership 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 and respond to life-threatening emergencies. TRIA is the team’s exclusive orthopedic partner, providing on-ice medical coverage to the Wild and visiting teams. 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. As the official team physicians, Drs. Boyd and Nelson attend practices and games, conduct yearly physicals and help the players get back on the ice after injury. TRIA physical therapist John Bottoms, DPT is also an important part of the Wild’s medical team, helping players rehabilitate after injury.
In 2017, TRIA became the naming rights partner to the Minnesota Wild’s new practice facility – TRIA Rink. It’s home to the Minnesota Wild, Minnesota Whitecaps, Hamline University and open to the community for open skate and events.
Minnesota Twins
Since 1986, Dr. John Steubs has been the medical director and team physician for the Minnesota Twins. As the team physician, Dr. Steubs attends practices and games, providing care for players, coaches and umpires.
Minnesota Whitecaps
TRIA has been the official medical provider for the Minnesota Whitecaps since 2018. The Whitecaps medical team, led by Dr. Anne Moore, marked the first all-female medical staff for a professional sports team in the U.S. The Minnesota Whitecaps games are held at TRIA Rink in Saint Paul.
