When owner of the Minnesota North Stars, Norm Green, decided to move the franchise to Dallas, the state of Minnesota was left without an NHL team. Minnesota is probably the most hockey mad market in the USA and the NHL was determined to put a team back there as soon as new ownership could be found. A new ownership group applied and a franchise was awarded. The new team, named the Wild, started play in the 2000 season and has become one of the most successful expansion teams ever.
