When owner Norm Green of the Minnesota North Stars moved his team to Dallas, the NHL had every intention of eventually putting a team back in Minnesota. So in 1997, they granted an expansion franchise to a group from Minnesota. The team name WILD was chosen from a list in a name the team contest. The team's first season on ice was in 2000/2001. The Wild has become a success both on the ice and at the gate, where they've sold out every game since the team started playing.
