Mankato Area Hockey Association

 

Each time the Mavericks score a goal (home or away), Earl Johnson Furniture donates $15 to the Mankato Area Hockey Association (MAHA). All proceeds are earmarked for underprivileged children from the area to help them offset the costs of playing hockey. The program is designed to give area businesses the opportunity to be involved with Minnesota State Athletics, create brand recognition and provide assistance to the Mankato Area Hockey Association.

 

“The Goals for Kids program seemed a natural fit for us,” said Todd Johnson, owner and president of Earl Johnson Furniture. “I guess first of all, from having a kid involved with MAHA, we’re familiar with the organization. And from a business standpoint, we’re always looking for community-involvement opportunities. This was something in which we could be involved with youth sports and the Mavericks in a unique fashion and this is something we’re excited about.

”MSU head coach Troy Jutting credited Johnson with his willingness to support the program.
